Hey is 20 mil Polyethylene ok to use as a pond liner? The reason I'm
thinking about it is it's lighter and shipping would be less thus I
could afford a bigger liner.

Thanks

That's one chance I wouldn't want to take. In the long run you'll be way
better off with the thicker product. You have to figure that you are going
to walk all over the stuff and likely place heavy rocks on it.

it works BUT you will be replacing it every few
yrs. as it isnt UV sttabilized.


Permalon 20 mil HDPE is also plastic based but is UV
safe and made to last 50+ yrs.

is lightweight,
doesn't cost an arm and leg to buy (from Ken),
and doesn't cost a whole lot to ship...

If polythylene is the same as PVC, I definiately wouldn't use this.
This spring we had to replace the 5 year old PVC liner(sold by Home
Depot as a pond liner) in our pond because it suddenly became full of
holes and was breaking up. That was NOT fun--digging up all the mature
plants around the pond, moving all the rocks, etc. We replaced it with
a 45 ml EPDM liner--more expensive but I wished I had used it in the
first place!
