Steel pond liner.

[oleluke]

Hi,
I have a large steel tank (not stainless) which I am thinking of sinking into the ground and use to keep a few fish in. I have sorted it out so is has shallows ( about 1" deep and it goes down to a depth of about 4'. it is likely to rust a little. Should I put a pvc or rubber liner in it?

thanks

Welcome!

I would use a liner.

Welcome ole. Definitely put in a EDPM liner, 43mil.

 

[koiguy1969]

Thanks for the advice - I'm off to theaquatic centre as we speak.

Welcome "oleluke" do you live anywhere near the villiage of Hallerton where they have that quaint custom of "bottle kicking" ?
Where the whole village plays some mad game with a flagon of ale against other villages "anything goes"........
I was going to say yes I concure with everyone but a word of warning personally I would find some old carpet then cover the steel to give the liner protection against it getting punctured

Forgot about the padding. Thanks Dave.

I would forget about the steel liner and just go with rubber. The steel is not going to add anything to the strength of the pond and only detract fro the looks.

Maybe use the steel container for some aquatic plants

 

[sissy]

use the steel for a veggie garden or flower garden or water plant garden they would all work and compliment the pond

My suggestion is about EPDM Pond Liner and definitely I suggest you Pond Pro 2000 because I used their product that proved wonderful for my Pond.
