LAKE AND POND LINERS

Pond Liner Construction Photos

Pond liners allow you to have a lake or pond almost anywhere! Liners are used in the construction of small lakes, ponds, watergardens, wildlife ponds, lifestock and wastewater lagoons. The reason so many types of ponds use a liner is to prevent water from seeping into the surrounds soil while allowing the pond to be dug in the shapes and depths required to maintain water levels. Aspects of the pond such as size, quality goals, budget, property value, species of fish, longevity, geology, wildlife, and maintenance need to be considered. Lined ponds support fish, aquatic plants and most often maintain clearer water than earthen ponds.

Aquatic Biologists, Inc has been working with pond liners since the time our company was founded in 1977. Our years of experience in the design and installation on lined ponds allows us to assist you with many preventative management options to maintain water quality for years to come.

Available in several different thicknesses, our pond liners containment membranes are an HDPL/LDPE fabric designed for economical, safe containment of contaminated soils, liquids or sludges. It is ideal for storage or emediation/treatment of contaminated materials, fuels, chemicals, and water. Our pond liners are designed as fish and plant safe liners.

Unlike almost all other liners available on a retail basis, our liners do not need to be completely covered with sand or soil to enforce the warranty. Also, the sub-surface does not need to be sand or heavily padded, just raked dirt. This is because of the extremely high puncture and tear resistance and UV resistance of our liners.

Thousands of square feet of our pond liners have been used by thousands of large and small users. It is approved by numerous governmental agencies, engineering companies, and environmental departments nationwide, including Alaska Dept. of Environmental Conservation, Oregon State DEQ, State of Washington, USDA/NRCS, and the environmental departments of Marathon, UNOCAL, Conoco, and Arco oil companies. We sell the only pond liners approved by the United States Department of Agriculture for non-soil covered conditions for irrigation ponds up to 2 acres in size.

Our pond liners are composed of a polyethylene product, so it has hydrocarbon, chemical, and UV resistance. It also has excellent cold crack characteristics (-65F). It is an excellent flexible membrane liner choice due to price, installation service, prompt availability, approvals, past and present users, capabilities, stability, and inherent strength and resistance characteristics.

Always consider the pond liner's warranty. All of the liners described within our website come with 10 - 25 year warranties depending on the pond liner's thickness (the thicker the liner the longer the warranty covers). It states that the liner will not prematurely deteriorate because of weathering or manufacturing defect within the 20 year period. Sample Warranty

Measuring A Pond

If the pond is empty measure from the anchor trench or shelf down the slope, across the bottom, up to the limit of the trench or shelf in both the widest length and width.

If the pond is full measure your ponds widest width, longest length and deepest depth (in feet). Below are a few examples depicting how to measure a pond.

Enter the longest length in the Length box and the widest width in the Width box. Aquatic Biologists, Inc. adds two feet in every direction and then gives the overall square footage. Please feel free to use our Pond Liner Calculator to determine the size liner your pond requires. ABI makes no representations or guarantees to the actual size required or warranted for each individual project. Please contact us for further information.
