Pond Pump and Fountain |
|
Once you have finished digging a hole for your pond, you want the water to stay and in order to accomplish this you must place a barrier against the ground. The liner is the foundation of the pond. You want to make sure that it is safe for aquatic life and that it has a good warranty and reputation such as Firestone PondGard. Please never use a roofing liner as these products are often treated with an algaecide that is toxic to fish and plants!! The first barrier liner you want to place down is called an underlayment. Over time this liner is better then using sand or newspaper, because the fibers of the underlayment liner will stop and cushion the edges of rocks before they puncture the liner. If you skimp on the sand it will just allow the points of rocks to puncture the liner, the same goes for the paper or carpet squares. We offer Firestone PondGard EPDM Liner which is a free-form liner and some preformed liners from NurseryPro which are called FlexForm. These liners are so flexible that we just roll up the liner and ship it to you in a box. Don't skimp on your foundation or you might be rebuilding your pond in 4 to 6 years. More Info... |
