Hey all,
So I have recently decided to dig a small pond, approximately 300 gallons in size. I'm not planning to add any fish or plants, but I would like to enhance the pond with some lighting and maybe some artificial pond lilies or something. I'd also like to add that this will be my first pond, so I'm currently a newbie at all this.
What I am unsure of is which type of pond liner I should go about using when I build this pond. I understand that flexible liners can be easy to work with, since they give you the freedom to fit the lining along the contours and edges of the hole that gets dug. However, what about pre-formed liners? Are they easier to work with, particularly for a novice pond DIYer such as myself? I would think that there are probably a greater range of options for pre-formed liners that are smaller in size (around 200 gallons), but I'm only speculating.
What type of liner do you guys think I should go with for installing my small pond? PVC, EPDM, Butyl, etc?
