Product Information

Every pond liner’s primary job is to hold your pond’s water. However, manufacturers make flexible liners — often called “geomembranes” by engineers — with a wide variety of materials, each of which has pros and cons depending on a pond’s individual setup. Your liner needs to stay stable in the hottest and coldest temperatures your area is likely to experience, and it shouldn’t snag, puncture, or tear due to objects or irregularities in the ground underneath. If your liner is exposed, it has to stand up to both UV rays and harsh weather. While concrete does not look “natural,” concrete flooring has its own aesthetic appeal since it produces a smooth pond bottom.

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 you begin approaching a pond design, aesthetics is likely your foremost consideration. Depending on the look you’d like to achieve with your pond, different types of liner materials can offer varying things. If you’re planning to fill your pond with fish, it’s essential that your liner is safe for your fish. While you can heat weld multiple butyl rubber sheets together to fit a custom design, very complex shapes may be hard to achieve with this material. A vital part of your pond setup, a liner does much more than keep water from flowing into the ground beneath your pond – it’s also responsible for providing a base for plants to root themselves in and fish to explore.Pond liners are predominantly made from PVC, HDPE, Butyl, EPDM and rubber. They can be hard or soft, shaped or sheet.

Our final review is of this pond liner from All Pond Solutions, and one that we think is a good alternative to the Swell liner for those on a tighter budget.

So, to sum up I’ll just say that this is a decent low-cost pond liner that might require a little warming up to make it more malleable, and would be a suitable budget buy if the Swell pond liner is sold out when you go to buy.
