Superior Quality Reinforced Poly Pond Liners added to Everliner.com

Aug. 17, 2010 - PRLog -- Everliner.com at DripWorks has added Reinforced Polyethylene Pond Liners to their product line. These quality reinforced pond liners do not require underlayment in most situations. Information and specifications for the new liner can be found on the website, http://www.everliner.com.

The uniqueness of the new reinforced poly liners is the “layered" construction consisting of layers of Low Density Polyethylene coatings sandwiching layers of High Density Polyethylene reinforcing scrim. This method of construction results in an incredibly puncture and tear resistant lightweight liner material.
It has excellent UV resistance (exposure to sunlight), and is less expensive than most of the competition. In fact, the 24 Mil’s 642 PSI puncture strength is the highest for any liner even remotely close to the price range of these products.

Unlike PVC and EPDM, the “puncture resistant” reinforced poly liners do not require a geotextile underlayment when placed over raked dirt, even if it has rounded rock in it. Puncture from underneath is virtually unheard of. The other types of liners are recommended to go over extremely smooth surfaces. Overall, the reinforced poly is one of the most versatile liners on the market.

Installing the liner at the site is pretty simple. The liner roll will be marked (typically on the roll itself and on the exterior wrapper) with the length and width and two directional arrows. Step one is to unroll the roll in the direction indicated by the first number and arrow. The second number shown is the "unfolding direction". In theory then, a liner normally can be placed on any of the four "corners" outside of the excavation and unrolled the appropriate direction. Which corner to start on is influenced by wind direction, obstructions present, available room to unroll the liner, and so on.

To secure the liner down, use the method of  "anchor trench"; typically around 1 foot wide by 1 foot deep, or larger if desired. The most common variation on the anchor trench is the "anchor shelf or bench". Rather than going down into the ground, the shelf is just a flat horizontal (or slightly canted back) area about 4 feet wide that the liner is laid onto, and then buried. This method is more common as the size of the pond gets bigger. It also tends to be a little more "forgiving" when attempting to get grass to grow right down to the waters edge. Either method is perfectly acceptable.

All of the reinforced liners are fish and plant safe.  One of the main purposes for the polyethylene pond liners is to allow a safe containment environment for fish and plants to survive, and they are engineered to function as such.
