Know before you buy
Yes, the EPDM rubber is specifically formulated to be non-toxic and safe for fish, plants, and other aquatic life.
The 45 mil thickness is the industry standard for residential ponds and offers excellent puncture resistance. However, for added protection against sharp rocks or heavy stones, we recommend installing a protective underlayment beneath the liner.
No, this EPDM liner is engineered to remain flexible in cold temperatures. It is designed to withstand frost and extreme temperature shifts without splitting or cracking.
The deep black finish is designed to absorb light, which creates a mirror-like reflection on the water's surface and adds visual depth, making the pond appear more natural and bottomless.
Yes, the material features outstanding resistance to UV radiation and ozone exposure, which prevents the rubber from degrading or breaking down over time when exposed to direct sunlight.
EPDM rubber is highly elastic, making it very easy to fold and maneuver around corners, shelves, and irregular contours in your pond design.
