Buying for large pond build

Before you get started on your pond project, you need to decide whether or not you have the skill and necessary equipment to successfully complete the task. In the vast majority of cases garden pond builds the answer to this question would be yes. However, for large pond builds, our best solution, then, is to hire a team of experts to handle the project for you as it may require welding or hot-bonding sheets of pond liner together to cover the length and width of your pond. We have broken this process down into a few key questions which will lead you to the best company for the job:

• The most important thing to look for when choosing your pond liner company is their track record. Do they have the necessary expertise to get the job done to your liking?
• Do they offer a range of related services, or merely supply materials?
• Can they handle a job of the scale you need? Many companies specialise in one type of lining, such as water tanks liners and therefore cannot give you the best product and advice for lining ponds.
• Are they limited to one industry? Projects change regularly and you need to select a company with the capacity to handle tasks of any size

There is one firm which answers all of these questions correctly and that is Russetts Development Ltd. We specialise in the fabrication, supply and installation of Butyl and EPDM flexible rubber linings, which are perfect for a large pond build.
