Why Pond Liners Makes Sense


Have you ever wanted to take your outdoor space to the next level with a custom-built pond? Large water features like these can be the perfect natural focal point in your space and are not as difficult to install as some may think. When undertaking a pond project, consider using polyethylene pond liners that will aid in the process and give you the strength, flexibility and durability that you need.

Each liner is made from polyethylene and feature a high density scrim layer combined with a low density coating, which results in a strong liner that delivers many benefits, including:


  • high tear resistance
  • easily holds water
  • made from one of the most popular and renowned polymers in existence
  • natural resistance to chemical properties
  • increased versatility for short- and long-term projects


The pond liners are available in a variety of sizes, so you can find the right dimensions to suit your needs. To accurately measure the pond, simply take measurements within the containment site at its widest width, longest length and deepest depth. After you’ve selected the correct liner and are ready to install, remember to include an anchor trench that will help stabilize the liner, preventing it from gradually slipping down the side of the pond.

Each pond liner can be expected to last about ten years in an environment where it will be exposed to animals and the elements. Making the decision to add stones, sand or soil on top of the pond liners can help to increase the life of the liners significantly in most cases. A pond liner is the perfect product for use in short-term designs or for beginners, as it is much easier to adjust or correct a flaw using a liner that it is with a concrete pond. Due to its ease of use, many pond builders prefer a liner to other materials, and often times it is the more cost effective option as well.

Whether you’re a grizzled expert in the area of pond building or just giving it a try for the first time, a reliable and affordable pond liner is a great option for your project. The finished product will only be as good as its foundation, so install carefully to ensure a look that will last for years. Look carefully for the right pond liners for each project and with a little time and effort, you will have a stunning man-made pond in no time!
