Featured Pond Supplies of the Week: PVC Pond Liners

As we continue our quest to find the right pond supplies for your backyard water garden, we're going to examine the benefits and features of PVC Pond Liners.

These durable pond liners feature a great combination of chemical resistance and strong physical properties. They are useful in industrial applications as well as water applications. So, if they're good enough for secondary waste containment and landfills, you can rest assured that they have what it takes to line your pond.

PVC material is resistant to oils, alcohols, waste byproducts and other corrosive liquids. That means that anything harmful in the groundwater or soil doesn't stand a chance of getting inside your pond.

PVC liners are popular among pond owners, because they are:

• Safe for all plant and fish life
• Recyclable
• Flexible in most temperatures
• Lightweight and easy to adjust
• Weather resistance (They are susceptible to UV damage, however, so they need to be kept out of direct sunlight)
• Easy to install

You can use PVC liners in a variety of creative designs, and they require little or no maintenance once they are installed.

However, it's nice to note that if maintenance is required at any time, it can be performed without having to remove the liner from your pond. This is a huge perk for people who have spent a great deal of time designing the look of their pond. They don't have to completely dismantle it just to patch a hole or fix the alignment.

PVC pond liner also tends to be fairly affordable, which is a bonus for first-time pond builders who need to stick to a budget.

Featured Pond Supplies of the Week: EPDM Pond Liners

As with many other types of pond supplies, there are plenty of options to choose from when purchasing pond liners. There are a variety of models on the market, each of which have multiple brands and variations within them.

To help make the process a little simpler for you, we’ll discuss the two most popular kinds. We’ll identify the benefits and features so you can make a better decision when it comes time to purchase.

To start things off, we'll dedicate this post to a discussion of EPDM Pond Liners.

EPDM pond liners are popular among water garden owners because they are extremely strong, but also very flexible. They are easy to work with and can be counted on to last for many seasons. That means you’ll spend less time installing them and won’t have to worry about spending money to replace them every other year. They require little to no maintenance once they are in place, and they are resistant to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, ozone damage and other environmental complications.

Some of the key features of EPDM pond liners include:

• Safe for fish and plants

• High expansion and contraction capabilities
• Can be shaped to fit the contours of your pond
• Remain flexible in most temperatures, making them easy to install year round
• Allow for versatility in pond design

As an added bonus, this type of pond liner doesn’t contain any plasticizers that could cause cracks or snaps in the material. EPDM pond liners are also free from any of the algaecides or fire retardants traditionally found in roofing EPDM products. That means your pond life will be safe and healthy, and your backyard water garden will look great.

In general, pond owners who want to create decorative water features and ponds are especially fond of EPDM pond liners. They are safe for all kinds of pond life, and their durability makes them a good choice for someone who doesn’t want to completely dismantle their pond to fix a problem with the liner.
