Hello, everyone. I'm new to this forum, but have had a tiny "garden pond" beside my home for years. It was professionally built (about 10' X 20'). I've been through various algae crisis, dead fish, predators, etc. But in GENERAL, we've been pleased with our pond. However, it's developed a leak, our plants have overtaken nearly the entire pond, and it's time to overhaul it. Moreover, we're interested in lengthening the pond anyway, and maybe adding some features.
First question: We're about to order a new liner and underlayment online. We've been using charts for calculating liner sizes, etc, and feel ready to order. One worry remains: Which liner to choose?
We THINK we want Firestone 45 mil EPDM material. But we see lower prices on "Carlisle" brand liner, also described as 45 mil. Is there any reason to stick with Firestone? Are we wise to stay with 45 mil? (We are too old for constant headaches and maintenance issues, and want to make this pond as easy to manage as possible).
Thanks in advance!
