Preformed pond?

[FAIRBAIRNS]

Hi, quick question.
I have dug out a hole in the garden and raised walls with railway sleepers so i now want a "square 7 foot by 7 foot" preformed pond around 4 feet deep but cant find one anywhere. Can anyone help please?

Most of us use rubber liners cut to fit the hole :wink:

I have found that you don't get to decide what size to get after digging a hole. The molds are expensive and most manufacturers have anywhere from a circular to irregular circles. I have never seen a square preformed pond.

think you might have to put a liner in most preforms are pretty shallow ..even if you were lucky to find one ...probably cheaper to go with a liner

I know pond depot carries them but they are not cheap and can be expensive to ship also they also have a preformed flexible liner very expensive around 2 thousand dollars

Go with a liner and some underlayment carpet etc under the liner.

yeh those preforms are not cheap pondepot.com has them and square one is over 2 thousand dollars .But pondepot has great prices on pumps and other stuff .I have bought from them in the past and they really have great prices on liners too .The only place besides that is sometimes you get good price on e-bay .Preformed is nice for really great shapes if you want them but are not cheap ,they do have some really neat shapes though ,but the price wow
