Estimated Lifespan for Preformed Ponds
Posted by Pond Keeper
What do you suppose is the estimated lifespan for preformed ponds, particularly in comparison with pond liners?
I ask because I put in a top grade butyl pond liner with a warranty period guaranteed for 15 years. That was 20 years ago and it still doesn’t leak, despite having one side exposed to direct sunshine during the summer months, because the way I designed it makes it hard to grow vegetation over that part. But I’m thinking it may need replacing sooner or later, and if I used a preformed rigid pond liner instead of the butyl, would that last just as long, or longer?

I am having difficulty finding a preformed rigid pond with a very gently sloping shallow area for wildlife access. Can anybody suggest any suppliers?
Take Preformed Ponds Away When You Move?

I saw this question in the ponds forum and it made me realise I’d never seen this aspect as an advantage of preformed ponds over pond liners.
“I’m about to start planning a pond soon and I want it about 5 foot deep, 15 feet long and 5 feet wide. As it is my first time and my mum does not want me to dig the whole garden up, she wants me to use a preformed pond base. But I have searched and searched but I can not find any the size I want it……
I then seached on forums to see if anybody else has this problem but everyone uses pond liners.
Just wondering if anybody knew a place where i could find a preformed pond that size preferably rectangular.
Please don’t try to convince me to use liner as my family will not have it. Plus when i get older and move out I can take a preformed pond with me.
Hope somebody can help. Many thanks”
Can anybody help with the 5 foot deep preformed rectangular pond question?
Where can I buy a preformed pond.?

I want to build a pond in my yard. I would like a preformed pond liner about 100+ gallons about 6feet by 5feet. Anyone know of web sites that have these. I have animals so I need a pond liner that is very durable. Thanks
I have 2 just about that size. I got mine at Home Depot.

What is the best way to fix a plastic preformed pond?
Posted by Pond Keeper
I was thinking silicone or melting plastic to repair the holes and cracks please let me know of any suggestions. Thanks!
Depending on whether the pond is a fairly simple shape, you might try covering it with a butyl liner and just considering the preformed plastic as a base for this. Butyl will last for many years if you get good quality. Otherwise I’d go to a water garden store and ask for advice on sealants, but this might depend on how bad the damage was – it sounds from your description as if there’s quite a lot of problems. Maybe you need to remove the preformed plastic and start again. If you don’t get a good liner in place, you will undoubtedly get more problems in the near future and will disturb all your plants and wildlife when you have to fix it again.
