A pond liner is a water-resistant material used to retain water in large man-made water bodies such as reservoirs, retention basins, farm ponds, artificial streams in parks, etc. They’re an ideal way to conserve water and reduce wastage, especially in the context of water shortage and global warming. If you’re looking for a pond liner, here are a few common challenges people face and some tips and tricks to avoid them:
Getting the correct size: One of the biggest challenges and a common mistake is to order a pond liner a tad bit too small or too large for the water body. In both the scenarios, the pond liner can become unusable. Therefore, it is imperative to take the measurements correctly and order the accurate size.
Only using price as a criterion: While cost is important, other factors also play a very important role. Some other criteria to choose a pond liner include quality of the pond liner, material used for manufacturing, customer service provided by the manufacturer, strength of the pond liner, etc. In this context, one of the best pond liners are those made using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) as they are water- and climate-resistant.
Not securing the liner’s edges: At the time of installing the pond liner, make sure that the edges are adequately overlapped to make the lining water tight. If you end up missing out the step and the overlap is inadequate, then the sides of the pond will be exposed when you start filling it with water. Don’t forget to secure the edges with a strong edging material.
Leaving out the underlay: It may seem like an extra step, but it is important and advisable to add an underlay before installing the pond liner to make it more resilient and sustainable.
Buying a non-warranty pond liner: Make sure that you buy a pond liner from a manufacturer who gives warranty as well as prompt customer service. Since pond lining is a technical task which requires care and attention, a good manufacturer is key.
