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.
