I built my pond with Xavan and it works very well. I chose it because I
had to do the work myself and using EPDM would have been awkward.
It is more expensive. As for being stronger, I think it is. It is very
difficult to puncture. But, the best part has to be the lighter weight. It
feels more like a tarp than a pond lining.

I am using it on my extension pond as well.

Hi everyone, I just found this group and have been reading with

interest for the last few days. I'm in the beginning stages of

planning a pond and am looking for a liner. I've read everyone's

comments on EPDM and Permalon. At my local garden shop, they carry a

liner by Tetra called Xavan. Supposedly, it's stronger than EPDM, 1/3

of the weight and not affected by UV and has a 25 yr. warranty.

Anyone have experience with this liner?



Thanks,



Laura
