If you are planning to own a pond, then you need tounderstand that it may need a lot of maintenance. An important factor you must take into consideration is the possible need of ia pond liner. Pond Liners are most often installed to retain water from water storage resources like ponds and dams. Pond liners are usually made up of an impermeable geomembrane which is a kind of geosynthetic material. These Pond Liners can get punctured by objects in the water body, that’s why they need to be protected against sharp objects like rocks.

The manufacturing of pond liners is done in the form of rolls. There are many suppliers of Pond liners in the market, that’s why it is not a difficult task for a person to find a company to provide a pond Liner. The features that normally make a high quality pond liner are as follows:
• It must have resistance to severe heat temperature fluctuations
• Must have strength and durability
• It must be Puncture resistant
• Potable if is used for drinking water.
• Fish and Plant friendly
• Must be Environment friendly
• Easy and quick to install

The pond liners may be made up of different materials like reinforcedpolyethylene liners, reinforced polypropylene pond liners, PVC pond liners& Xr5 liners. When it comes to material selection, availability of these materials makes it very confusing. It is recommended by many companies to use reinforced products for most pond liner applications. They are lighter, stronger and tear-resistant as compared to the unreinforced pond liners.

One thing you must consider while selecting a pond liner is that your pond liner will be exposed to the sun or not.Reinforced Polyethylene is normally the best assessment when the pond liner is not exposed to UV rays. Reinforced Polyethylene products are very strong and often last for over 20 years. On the other hand when they are exposed to sun, their endurance is not guaranteed to last more than 10 years all though new advanced keep lengthening the time they can be exposed to the sun.

For the pond liners which are exposed to the sun, Reinforced Polyproylene is the most recommended material. It may last over 20 years when exposed to the sun. It is more expensive than Reinforced Polyethylene but there is no threat against UV rays.

The Reinforced Polyproylene is also often a great selection when exposed hazardous containment applications. Xr5 another reinforced product is the best selection for oil and fuel. They have excellent tear resistance qualities along with U.V rays resistance. Thus it has a capability of working well with both hazardous and non-hazardous containment.
