Read About Choosing PVC & Under-Pond Liners
PVC and under the pond liners will improve the durability of a pond and add years to its life.
Things to consider:
Pond Protection – Consider a good pond underliner when planning construction of a backyard water garden. The underliner acts as a buffer for the pond liner. It helps prevent punctures from rocks and other things that might damage the liner and cause the pond to leak. It is also much more effective and easier to install than alternative materials, such as cardboard, newspaper, or old carpet padding.
Durability Issue – A water garden needs a good pond underliner. It is the first thing that gets put in place when the hole for the pond is dug. The goal is to provide a layer of protection for the main pond liner. It will also add cushion along the walls of the pond for fish. An underliner makes the environment better for fish, and it will extend the life of the pond.
Installing an Underliner – A pond underliner is item number one that anyone building a water garden will need. It needs to follow the contour of the pond, and there needs to be enough extra material around the edges to allow for settling of the pond. If you keep the liner from becoming damaged, you will avoid leaks in your pond, and it will last longer.
