The Ultimate Guide to Pond Liner Prices

Establishing a large pond liner costs more than easily choosing the cheapest material per square foot, All elements of the project are required to be considered, involving the size of the pond, as well the use of the pond, the endurance expected, slope and intensity, whether water is static or moving, and as well shipping the liner to the site and who is conducting the installation. 

It’s simple to establish the pond liner price for a small garden pond liner: usually, sheet material like EPDM will cost around 75 cents per square foot which is probably the most common retail option for a garden pond measuring nearly, say 12′ x 12′.

As we go high in size and shift away from retail, we can start thinking in terms of probably one-third of the cost for liner materials; still, obviously, the other related charges are an essential factor too. Once we move away from the small garden pond, we as well find that other materials will outperform EPDM by a large margin – conspicuously Reinforced Polyethylene (RPE) and also PVC in most applications.

The price of the pond liners can vary anywhere between 7000/- INR to 25000/- INR.

On the accounts of pond liner price, RPE and PVC can be close to the similar pond liner price for a large pond liner. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is often suggested because it’s a cost-effective material by the square foot, but it has vital drawbacks in the actual field installation, which is where the actual cost of a liner becomes apparent. 

Cost-Effectiveness of the Pond Liner

The cost-effectiveness of the pond liner is an element of its true pond liner price. You want non-toxic material for a fish pond something that won’t degrade rapidly with a long-term project. In case the ground is less than ideal, you may either be required to use an underlayment to protect the liner from tearing, or you may require to cover the bed with a layer of soft soil or sand ahead of setting the liner in place.

The area required to be covered is simple enough to calculate – view our pond liner size calculator – allowing enough for an anchoring trench close to the perimeter. The ruggedness of the terrain is an aspect of material choice. A lightly sloping, custom-excavated pond on a golf course or for irrigation might use PVC. Purchasing this liner to protect from UV degradation will extend its service life from a couple of years to as much as twenty or more.

For much more durable, non-toxic, and difficult applications, RPE is the optimum component. This is a situation where the material itself is less a factor in strength and puncture detention than the reinforcement, which arrives from the weave. At Ocean Global, we’ve pioneered the compacted weave in the industry for our reinforced products, and our 30-mil Aqua Series of pond liners will outperform much heavier components. We thence produce greater strength combined with lighter weight, in a flexible material suited to conform to various ground conditions.

More cost savings from the right choice of optimum pond liner are reflected in shipping and installation. Large pond liners must typically arrive from specialized manufacturers such as Environmental Liner. With three factories over the country, we can deliver custom-fabricated panels up to 300′ x 300′. The lightness and flexibility of the liner material assist to avoid damage during transit to the site and at the time of the unpacking for installation.

Installation

Installation can be the weakest link in the chain of stages required to create a durable pond liner. While we apply our installation crews, many projects will sometimes give less thought to this, often using less than skilled labor on the project. It’s crucial not to stress the liner during installation. In case it’s going to be buried under a layer of soil or sand, this requires being done carefully, not putting weight on unburied areas of the liner.

And in case the panels need to be heat-welded in the field (and they must be, instead of taped or glued), this requires to be done well, or the liner might fail at the seams. In conclusion, it is highly impossible to determine the pond liner price simply based on the cost per square foot of the liner material. All the other aspects mentioned here must form part of the final equation.
