Hi Bill - $.60 sq ft is cheap here in Ontario for Epdm, if that is what your
looking at - PVC doesn't stand up to our freeze/thaw cycles for more than ~5
yrs and have heard of problems with Permalon up here as well - It may work
well down in warmer climates, but I understand the jury is still out on
Permalon up here
I gather you know how to measure for liner ( length of hole at longest
point + 2 X depth at deepest point for lenght and width of hole at widest
point + 2 X depth at deepest point for width , then add a foot more to both
measures for trimming) - Don't forget the waterfall if you are going to have
one, so you have 1 solid sheet of liner - piecing or overlapping it is
cheaper, but leaves one open to a myriad of pitfalls (leaks)
Gale :~)

I'm starting to look at the liner for my small expansion and I'm getting a
bit of sticker shock.

The new pond will NOT be that much bigger than the old one, so I was
surprised when liner size started coming out in the neighbourhood of
20x22. I'll go with 20x25 to be safe, but I suspect 20x20 would still
leave me with a butt load of extra.

So the quotes are around $300, which I guess I can live with. But the
shipping looks like the real sticky part. One place has this big
disclaimer about going to the truck terminal or giving up an arm for a
curbside delivery (your forklift required) or giving up both legs for a
tailgate curbside delivery.

So has anyone in Mississauga picked up a liner this size locally, without
all the hassles? ie. does some place like Canadian Tire or Home Depot
carry liner this big?
