Use the liner as a single-piece base when shaping a small to medium pond, or when prefabricating it into regular shapes for formal Koi ponds, water features, rills etc.
High elasticity, irrespective of temperature, means the material will return to its original shape after stretching, and will mould itself easily to the shape of the pond
Compatible to Butyl liners - It looks like butyl and outperforms butyl across all specifications.
Install EPDM Liner the new replacement for Butyl
It has a slightly reduced rubber content which helps to keep the price down to reasonable limits. Also known as EPDM this is the accepted market replacement for Butyl.
The EPDM Pond Liner is a synthetic rubber membranes with exceptional physical properties making it the ideal choice for lining ponds, lakes, lagoons and streams, widely used in building and civil engineering.
EPDM is water resistant and aquatic safe so you don’t have to worry about the contamination of the water or life of your fish or other animals in the pond. The material is also very environmentally friendly
Need to know the Size of Pond Liner and Underlay You need?
- Dig the hole to the required shape for the liner, taking care to make the sides sloping rather than vertical. To create planting areas for marginal plants leave steps from 20 cm to 40 cm deep as required . For a perfect finish, ensure that the top edge of the pool is level. This will make edging the pool easier with minimal visible liner exposed.
- Ensure the pool area is free from sharp stones, place underlay on the base and sides of the excavation and then place the liner in position. Should you need to tread on the liner remove shoes to avoid piercing. Lightly anchor the liner in position with bricks evenly distributed around the edge of the liner, not the excavation.
- Run water into the pool gradually, at the same time pulling and tucking the liner into shape to ensure a neat finish. You'll notice that the liner will stretch at first, then as the weight of water increases, it will mould itself to the shape of the sides. Fill the pool completely, checking that the liner fits closely all round. Leave overnight, to ensure proper settlement of the liner. Trim off excess liner around the pool with scissors or a knife, leaving 30cm overlap for anchorage.
- After a week you can complete your pool by edging in stone, or paving as desired, allowing for a small overhang to hide the liner from direct sunlight. For a different effect, grass turf can be used, which may overhang and touch the water.
