Quick Tips for Selecting Containment/Pond Liners for Your Property


Have you been thinking about building a containment pond or water garden on your property? If so, there is a good chance that you may have a few questions about which containment/pond liners to buy. With that said, perhaps the following tips will help answer some of your questions:

Tip #1: Select the Right Type of Pond Liner

Containment/pond liners are traditionally made with a select group of materials, each with their own advantages. Among the list of assorted materials are polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene polypropylene diene monomer (EPDM), butyl rubber and high density polyethylene (HDPE). You’ll want to ideally select one that is suitable for your region’s climate and your overriding purpose.

Take our heavy duty polyethylene pond liners for example. They are non-toxic, puncture resistant, hydro-static resistance and long-lasting. They also come in different sizes. Those sizes tend to range from 30 feet wide x 20 feet long to 100 feet wide x 120 feet long. Each one is 20 Mil thick. Thus, it would be ideal for use with containment pond and water garden installations.

Tip #2: Calculate the Pond’s Dimensions Carefully

It is also important to carefully determine which size containment/pond liner is needed before you place an order. That’s because containment/pond liners tend to be custom made to the customer’s specifications. Therefore, you’ll want to get it right the first time.

In most instances, its best to measure the area’s depth, width and length twice, just to be sure. Afterward, add at least 3 to 6 inches to your figures to allow for any weather related fluctuations and shortcomings. If you are still hesitant about the size liner needed, you may want to refer to our online measuring chart.
