Farm pond liners
aren’t that much different than other pond liners, though farms
will usually have more animals and fish, so that needs to be taken into
account. It has been recommended by many experts to use flexible pond
liners as these usually have the most advantages over fiberglass, concrete
or pre-formed plastic liners. Two types of flexible farm pond liners
are the Polyethylene and the UltraGuard farm pond liners.
The Polyethylene farm pond liner (a thermoplastic) is similar to the
EPDM liner in many ways. These liners release no toxins that are dangerous
to the plants or fish. The Polyethylene liner is highly flexible and
will stay so in temperatures down to -70° Fahrenheit. It is resistant
to the UV rays of the sun and to tears and punctures. This farm pond
liner is even recommended for potable water applications. The disadvantage
of Polyethylene is that it only has a shorter lifespan – up to
5 years.
The other type of farm pond liner described here is the UltraGuard
(a polymeric alloy). This is just one brand name of this type of liner.
The best advantage of this liner is that it has the highest resistance
to UV rays and will resist cracking to temperatures of -65° Fahrenheit.
UltraGuard also has been tested safe for fish and plants, it is highly
flexible and resists tears and punctures. The lifespan of this farm
pond liner will last 20 years and more.
There are other farm pond liners not mentioned here that will work
very well for a farm pond. The type of liner you will need will depend
upon the type of climate, size and budget that you have. It is best
to do some more research before deciding which type of farm pond liner
is best for you.
