| Okay so enough dreaming and wishing Im ready do do this! Im ready to build my pond. i started making the outlines for my pond and was looking at liners online. Well I stumbled upon a site selling billboard tarps as pond liners for WAAAYY cheaper than "real" pond liners. Has anyone used this with success? Or failure? The last thing i want to do is cheapskate my way through this only to have to redo it in a couple years. Thanks for the help! |

| Hi I've used fiberglass tarps in an aboveground ,since 1981. Have had no problems with it but after the freeze of 07 it wiped out the entire population of tropical fish. Since I had to clean it out anyway I added another liner. You guessed it another fiberglass tarp.lol My only objection is that I couldn't find the tarp in black so settled for a silver color. i also used this on the "marsh garden" has been running since 98 . no problems. gary |

| Hey Pop Tart! Also, I'd suggest checking craig's list for used roof epdm. I've gotten used epdm for my last two pond expansions....one from the Minneapolis/St Paul area and the other from the Duluth, MN area for super, super cheap! I just got the last one for $75 for a 20'x18' piece. Check out the post about roof epdm versus pond epdm on this formum if you have questions about using it. I can say that I've used roofing epdm twice now with no adverse effects on my koi. If anything they are healthier and bigger because they have more room to move around nowadays! |
