Yesterday we were talking to a guy who builds ponds and he said that a

which we have not going to hold up for many years?

Vinyl will last 4/5 years if your lucky. Depends very much on how much
exposed material is in the sun. Butyl is the way to go, usually guranteed
for at least 20 years.
Is Buytl a time of rubber? I've not heard of it before.
Yes. It's extremely heavy, and really not the choice of _anybody_ who's
built a large pond before. EPDM (ethyl poly blah blah blah :-) ) is much
lighter, and often has the same guarantee. There are even lighter woven
HDPE (high density polyethylene) plastics - they're certainly the choice
for _very_ large ponds, because they're much lighter and cheaper than EPDM,
but they can sometimes be awkward, as they're stiffer than EPDM.
Thanks for explaining that.
