Pond Liners

Pond liners come in many different materials and brand names. It can be quite confusing to decide just what's best for you and your pond. How do you choose between butyl, pvc, firestone, EPDM, EPAL, LDPE and green seal? Easy - you choose fibreglass onsite moulding instead.

For peace of mind, fibreglass or grp has to be your first choice of pond liner. After all, you will spend a good deal of time and effort planning and building your pond, creating and establishing a habitat for fish and wild life. With rubber and pvc pond liners there is always the nagging thought of a possible leak or puncture. These days flexible liners can be repaired but think of the inconvenience and trouble caused by trying to find the leak and repair it.

On site fibreglass pond lining service

Pre-formed rigid fibreglass pond liners are an instant solution and easy to install so long as level installation and proper backfilling support is done.

However, if you want a pond of your own design, volume, shape, size, depth and features Gee-Grp's on-site fibreglass pond lining service is the ideal solution.

Pond Construction

First of all, you excavate and construct your pond with brick, lightweight block or concrete block. Non-brick surfaces can be left un rendered. However, we recommend finishing with render as the smoother the foundations of your pond the better the quality of finish of the glassfibre liner.

FAQ's

QHow long does your fibreglass pond lining process take?

AOne day, two days at most - it all depends on the size of your pond and what additional features you want to include, like a waterfall or steps.

QHow much would it cost to give my pond a fibreglass liner?

AWe price each job individually based on surface area in square metres, the type of lining system and what it is being applied to and your location in the UK. For a ball park figure to price your project use upwards of £30/square metre as a guideline.

QAm I restricted in the colour of the finish as with flexible pond liners?

ANo, the top gel coat of our grp liners have pigment added to them so within reason you can almost choose any colour in the rainbow you like. Racing Green is a favourite colour among Koi Carp owners.
