Line Your Pond the Allplas Way!

Feb. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Pond liners are a great way to build a pond and add a bright, natural looking pool to your garden. Whether you want to make it neat or natural, the range from Allplas is there to help.

With Spring fast approaching, adding a pond to a garden or open space or even spending some time reworking an existing pond can transform any green area. Most ponds can be lined and filled in a few days so adding a water feature doesn’t have to be a massive undertaking.

If you’ve already mentally mapped out the shape and location of your pond, deciding on a liner is the next task. You may wonder which  pond liner is the best for your pond, but worry not; the liners on the Allplas website are all individually named with the type of material they are made from, to make the task easy for you.

The 40thou (1mm) Firestone EPDM Synthetic Rubber Liner is, as the title suggests, made from EPDM synthetic rubber so has high flexibility in temperatures as low as -45oC. It also features high elongation, and can stretch to over 300 per cent while remaining fish and plant friendly.

EPDM was originally conceived to be used in roofing. The new EPDM material, imported nearly 20 years ago, was more capable of weathering extreme conditions, was stronger and more liable. This makes EPDM liners a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscaping. The material is easy to work with and once installed requires little maintenance.

The 20thou Black PVC Liner, made as it says, from black PVC, is ideal for those looking for flexible pond liners rather than rigid ones. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is great for those looking to make their pond look natural or purpose built with brick or stone facing.

Flexible sheets such as the black PVC liner are imperative if you want to create more than six metres of water surface and allow for a custom made depth, perfect if you plan to keep plants and fish.

Allplas also provides a range in tarpaulins, ground cover, safety netting, cricket netting and weed control products. For more information  and to buy online, visit http://www.allplas.co.uk
