Product Information

Even if you do have a clay-rich soil, it is typically worth using a pond liner. Even clay will absorb water, so you’ll still experience a slow leak of water out of your pond. Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) is a synthetic rubber that’s often used to manufacture flexible pond liners. Unlike some liners of this size, this is one continuous sheet which makes it less prone to leaks and generally more resilient; large liners are sometimes made of several pieces connected together. Butyl is a type of rubber used in tyres and inner tubes. It’s light, soft yet very hard wearing and is ideal as a pond liner.

That depends on the size of the pond the DIYer is creating. Pond-liner manufacturers will often include formulas to help calculate how much liner is required for pond dimensions. However, a simple rule of thumb is to calculate the length by adding the maximum length plus two times the maximum depth and an additional foot for safety. For the width, add the maximum width plus two times the maximum depth and, again, add an additional foot to be safe. Remember, you can measure multiple tim When it comes to excellent all-round protection, it is hard to argue against using an EPDM liner, and even the extra you have to fork out will prove worth it when you’re still using the same liner in 10-20 years from now.

HDPE Industrial Liner Applications

Full subcontract supply and install service providing fully welded and certified installations can be offered through our sister company Stormwater Management or all products can be supplied in roll form with tapes for self installation. Butyl Rubber liners are very strong, flexible and durable. They’re often guaranteed to last for over 20 years. Butyl shares many of the same properties as EDPM, including a good level of resistance against UV, but is slightly more expensive. RPE is also made from the same plastic as HDPE. But it’s stronger and more puncture resistant than either HDPE or LLDPE. It’s also the thinnest and lightest material you can buy for liners. RDPE is used to line waterways such as canals and dams. Pros These are all flexible and strong materials that will help you create a natural looking pond that will last for many years. However, each material has slightly different properties which are worth knowing about: Consumers now know more about choosing the best pond liner for their water garden, but they may still be looking for more information. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about pond liners. Q. Does a pond need a liner?

So, why do you need a pond liner (of any kind)? Well, the main and most obvious reason is that you can’t have a pond without water, and no matter what kind of soil makes up your garden, it will not retain water on the surface for long without some help. It is made from 0.3mm LDPE, but has strength to it that I wasn’t expecting, and I would definitely feel confident about using it for any kind of pond, as long as it didn’t have a ton of curved sections. Geosynthetics can also supply alternative membranes to HDPE and LLDPE, these are useful when the client requires a much more flexible or even a bespoke sized lining material for applications such as water containment, reservoirs & run off ponds, PP liners can be used with potable water EPDM Rubber: Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber is a popular choice for blue pond liners due to its flexibility and durability. EPDM liners can easily conform to the shape of your pond, making them suitable for a variety of designs. They are also resistant to UV radiation, extreme temperatures, and punctures. When it comes to pond liners, you have a few options, you have preformed ponds, these are great and come pre-moulded so you just need to dig the hole for the pond and carefully place the preformed pond in place. I personally think it’s easier to build a pond using a flexible pond liner. Which is what this guide is really about.

RPE pond liners are another common option for ponds. RPE offers many of the advantages of HDPE, with fewer downsides.
