Is it cheaper to buy it online with shipping, or better to pick it up at the
local lowe's, home depot, ect?

The price Lowe's gave me was .40 a sq foot, and they only carry it in
varying sizes.

When we looked at it, the epdm roofing material was actually more expensive
then the prepackaged pond liners, and I remember reading last year here that
the roofing epdm was always cheaper, and exactly the same.

We are looking at something here about 14x14 or such.. I still need to take
actual measurments.

Downside, is we are digging out VERY large rocks (Waynesville, NC), upsaide,
is we have a great winter mountain view.

Also we just saw a raccoon nearby (visible from the house) We probably
should skip koi, and I'm sure the raccoon's would love that feast.

I thought the roofing stuff was not fish friendly?

I could be wrong.... it's been known to happen.. ;-)

shipping quote first then compare.


Hope this helps

Check your local roofing supply company as well. If you buy a complete roll
of 50' or 100' it is much cheaper. They generally carry 10' and 20' widths
on hand. Some have more. Some also sell "scraps" or lengths less than a full
roll that have been returned by the contractor. I have used the .45 mil
roofing EPDM for years with no adverse effects on fish or plants. It usually
has a talc powder on it so that it doesn't stick together and rolls out
easily. You also have the choice of the .60 mil as well. As far as online,
AZ ponds ( www.azponds.com) has quite a few sizes that they stock. Their
prices were competetive, I just think that shipping costs could outweigh
that, but I have not checked into it.

Good luck.

We ended up succumbing to the bug today anyway, and bought 14x20 at lowes.
It has a 20 year warranty (like we'll ever get to take advantage of THAT,
and it was about $170 or so with tax.

A few years ago I enlarged my pond. I purchased my liner from Water
Garden Creations at a good price, free shipping and delivered to the
door. The liner was 45 ml EPDM pond grade. I was very satisfied with
the deal. Happy water gardening.
