Rubber pond liner is a favourite among pond builders as it offers the greatest flexibility and the cleanest finish when building a pond using a flexible sheet liner. Being made of 0.75mm rubber, this liner is made to last and will easily mould to the size of hole which you have built. Gordon Low's SealEco EPDM (Greenseal) rubber pond liner is a synthetic rubber membrane with exceptional physical properties making it the ideal choice for lining ponds, lakes, lagoons and streams. During production the EPDM is vulcanised (cured under pressure and heat) creating an elastic, chemically stable product with negligible ageing through exposure to UV-radiation, atmosphere, chemicals, earth, water and extremes of temperature.
How to calculate your required liner size:
It is recommended to purchase pond liner after you have dug your hole and measured this exactly to ensure you don’t buy too little
- Measure your new pond at the maximum length, width and depth in metres
- Double the depth measurement
- Add the doubled depth measurement to each the length and the width
- Ensure you add at least 0.5m on to each measurement
- Round each of the figures up to the nearest half metre to get your liner size
Example:
- Measure the ponds widest points (2.3m (L) x 1.7m (W) x 0.5m (D))
- Double the depth measurement (0.5m x2 = 1m)
- Add the number from step 2, to both the length and width measurement in step 1 (2.3m + 1m = 3.3m | 1.7m + 1m = 2.7m)
- Add at least 0.5m of overlap to each side (3.3m + 0.5m = 3.8m | 2.7m + 0.5m = 3.2m)
- Round each of the numbers from step 4 up to the nearest half metre. (3.8m becomes 4m | 3.2m becomes 3.5m)
Required liner size is 4m x 3.5m
Make sure when building your new pond that you remove all sharp stones, debris and any large roots from around the edge of the pond. It is also recommended to add a layer of sand to the bottom of the pond before lining and to protect your liner with underlay. Never forgot how heavy water is when using pond liner, all sides of the pond must be well supported.
The other main consideration to take into account before laying your pond liner is to make sure that the pond of your new pond is completely level.
