Hey guys,
I read that concrete ponds are better for long term use because easier to fix if leakages occur. But i am planning to build a pond which is 9000 sq ft ( 1/4 acres ) . It is almost a farm pond.
So , if some kind of leakage occurs, it will be impossible to drain this pond and fix it. It will be an excavated pond. So there won't be a drainage area to let the water out.
In other words, with this pond i can't use the advantage of easy fixability of concrete.
So , my question is , is it worth the extra money spent for concrete? Epdm has at least 20-25 years life anyways. What about concrete ponds with high quality sealants?
I am from a real droughty environment. So , i can't afford a leaking pond really.
Thanks guys.
