EPDM Pond Liner

The Unique Properties Of EPDM pond liner have a lot of valuable benefits. This product is made by Firestone PondGard. The EPDM liner is a highly stable material, fish and plant friendly. The Firestone PondGard logo imprinted on the EPDM liner indicates that it is specially formulated to be safe for exposure to fish and plant life in decorative ponds. It stays flexible in a variety of temperatures enabling it to be installed year round. PondGard EPDM liner has high expansion and contraction characteristics which enable it to conform to objects in the subgrade. This feature is especially important after the pond is in service when earth movement, or erosion, could cause roots and rocks to be dislodged beneath the membrane, placing stress on the liner.

PondGard's high elongation properties will enable it to stretch over the object. A garden pond liner should conform nicely to bottom contours.

You want to have both shallow and deeper areas, and even shelves upon which potted aquatic plants can be set within the pond.

EPDM (ethylene-propylene rubber) is the best liner marterial your money can buy. It is thicker than most pond liners, at 40 to 60 mils. It is also a more rubbery (as in stretchy) plastic, which adds to its life and suefulness. It will stretch around a rock or obstacle in the ground instead of tearing.

But there is bad news. As with all things of the highest quality, it is more expensive. You can expect to pay twice as much for an EPDM liner as you would for PVC. The long life of 20-plus years more than makes up for the up-front cost, however; so if you are building a pond that is meant to last, go with EPDM.

You simply cannot build a good pond without a good liner because it is the skin of the pond and one of the most important components of a successful water garden or backyard Koi ponds. The EPDM liner is highly recommended not only from the Koi Pond Guide experts but from many other experts as well.

Here’s a tip: To get the proper measurements for the purpose of buying liner, place one end of a string 18" from the side of the hole and drop it down, across, and up to the other side at the widest part of the hole. Then 18" on the other side. Measure the string. (Remember — once liner is cut there is no returning it and seams will probably eventually leak).

Budget Tip

Make the most of your EPDM Pond Liner. Since it is priced by the square foot you should avoid going up to the next size width. For example: If your measurements indicate that you need a 21x21 ft. piece of liner backfill adjust the hole so that you only need a 20x21 ft. piece. This could save you over $100.

PondGard EPDM Pond Liner

PondGard is based on EPDM synthetic rubber, a highly flexible stablelogo material that is not only long-lasting and easy to work with, but is safe for fish and plant life. It has been used successfully in a variety of environmental containment applications for more than a decade.

The Unique Properties Of EPDM Give PondGard These Unique Benefits:

FISH FRIENDLY: PondGard is a highly stable material. The Firestone PondGard logo imprinted on the EPDM liner indicates that it is specially formulated to be safe for exposure to fish and plant life in decorative ponds.
HIGHLY FLEXIBLE: PondGard stays flexible in a variety of temperatures - from - 40 degrees F to 1 75 degrees F enabling it to be installed year round. And unlike some liner materials, PondGard EPDM contains no plasticizers which can embrittle with age and cause cracks or splits in the material, threatening fish and animal life.
DESIGN VERSATILITY: PondGard flexibility provides flexibility in pond design, too. Unlike preformed liners, PondGard can easily be shaped to fit the unique contours of your pond, giving you much more creative design versatility. In addition, PondGard comes in a variety of lengths. Multiple membrane panels can quickly and securely be seamed with the QuickSeam Tape System to accommodate larger pond lining applications and unique design elements such as waterfalls.
WEATHER RESISTANT: PondGard shows outstanding resistance to the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation (UV), ozone and other environmental conditions - important characteristics especially along the water line of the pond where the liner can be exposed.
HIGH ELONGATION: PondGard EPDM has high expansion and contraction characteristics which enable it to conform to objects in the subgrade. This feature is especially important after the pond is in service when earth movement, or erosion, could cause roots and rocks to be dislodged beneath the membrane, placing stress on the liner. PondGard's high elongation properties will enable it to stretch over the object.
EXTREME DURABILITY: For additional puncture protection, PondGard EPDM rubber liners can be installed in conjunction with a Firestone Protection Mat. This nonwoven geotextile underlayment provides a uniform layer of membrane puncture security much greater than that provided by carpet remnants and old newsprint.
LOW MAINTENANCE: PondGard requires little or no regular maintenance once installed. Should the need arise, it is easy to repair in place with a self-adhesive QuickSeam Joint Cover Patch, minimizing cost and inconvenience.
WARRANTY: PondGard EPDM Rubber Liner is backed by a 20-year warranty.
EASY TO INSTALL: PondGard installs quickly and easily. No special tools or skills are required.
