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?
Take Preformed Ponds Away When You Move?
Posted by Pond Keeper
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?
