Default Liner in Southern Ontario?

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?


I use the PVC liner that came with one of those Beckett kits at Home
Depot and I think it has a small leak after 4 years since I lose a lot
of water near the top.

Next year I was planning on making my pond deeper and making sure I add
a depression for draining and easy cleaning.

I will keep in mind about this EPDM liner as I was going to use the PVC
stuff again.

A quick search on E-bay gives me prices under $100 for that size of EPDM
liner or I was just approach a roofing company and they will cut you a
piece for a reasonable price.
