Hi everyone,

I am looking to replace my pond liner which is about 11ft by 11ft by
5ft deep, and I have no idea what to do. Having checked the Internet I
can see lots of types of liners e.g. PVC, Butyl etc but as I have no
experience whatsoever I am not sure what I need....

I would like a decent liner with some longevity, can anyone recommend a
good quality pond liner either type of material or manufacturer and also
where is the best place to purchase the liner e.g. on line or at a
shop.

Any help much appreciated.

kind regards,
Richard


Recently I built a pond, and lined it with a non butyl liner. It had a
10 year guarantee, it started to leak after 2 weeks. The leak was very
slow and I could not find the location, even using the milk trick. The
guarantee seems pretty useless, as proving it it due to failure of the
liner and not physical damage would be very difficult. Anyway I have
replaced it with a butyl liner, which seemed much better quality also is
easier to lay neatly. If ever I do another pond I would not hesitate to
use butyl, as for source I got mine from Swell on the internet. Your
best bet is to search and select according to your parameters.
