Pre Formed Pond Leak
Does anyone out there know how to repair a leak in a pre formed pond liner? My
umbrella palms grew into the side of the pond causing it to bend and then crack. Thanks for any suggestions. Judi |

Pre Formed Pond Leak
After I repair the leak I thought about adding turtles to this pond and keeping
my fish in my other larger pond. I'm still not sure about the RED EAR SLIDERS and what they need to stay alive. I live in Bakersfield, Ca (zone 8,9 I think). Do they need heaters? Heat lamps? Will they sneak to the other pond and eat my fish? How many gallons per turtle? Thanks, Judi |

Pre Formed Pond Leak
Does anyone out there know how to repair a leak in a pre formed pond liner?
I successfully repaired my preformed pond a couple of years ago. I used a thin copper patch that was about 3 or 4 inches wide and longer than the crack. I buttered the DRY crack with RTV silicone sealer. I then pop riveted the patch over the crack. You could also use Stainless steel or galvanized sheet metal screws instead of pop rivets. You could also use aluminum flashing for the patch. You could even cut a patch out of the bottom of a section of aluminum gutter. You "might" even get by with a patch made from a soft drink can but that's awfully thin. Good Luck! Peace!! Dan D. Louisville KY good ole USA visit my pond and garden pages! http://ky-dan.com |
