brockssracer Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 from memory pond liners are 200um thick. builders plastic is usually 50-100um thick. So you may want to double up the thickness if you use black plastic. I dont know if pond liners have higher uv stabilisation either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matmatmat Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 They sell pond liner at bunnings, I remember seeing it and being horrified at the price:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shon982 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I thought it was a good price at bunnings I got my 4mx3m sheet for $70... Pretty cheap pond I thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenster Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Go to The Irrigation Shop at Slacks Creek. Welcome to The Irrigation Shop $11.35/m for 4m wide sheets Ask them if there is any off cuts/end bits that would fit the dimensions that you needs as that will be half price of that ..... I did that & got a piece double the size I need but at the same price! Oh, they do cheap bulkheads too. Hope that helps. Regards, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I'll rephrase it to, I was there with my wife and SHE was of the opinion that WE thought we could do without it and the fish could make do with the tanks they are in.. It was a fair while ago.. I guess my memory also inflated the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
