Pond liners, lake liners, reservoir or canal liners all have one very important role in water conservation in that they prevent water lose. The biggest threat to water lose in any man-made water storage system is the lose of water through ground seepage. How valuable are reservoirs, lake and ponds to the UK's environment?

The role of a pond liner is for the containment of water and can take the form of either a preformed pond design, a flexible synthetic or rubber liner, or concrete. There are pros and cons to all choices including a natural pond design. The pond liner chosen usually depends on design plans, surrounding landscape and budget. In this article we share a project where we were asked to install a pond liner in a leaking concrete lined pond >>

As a Landscape designer are there projects you have been commissioned to do that require a water feature installation for which help is needed by way of expert advice and skills. The team at Russetts Developments Ltd have worked in the Aquatic Industry for the past forty years and have extensive knowledge in numerous water containment projects from lake liner installation to tank liner refurbishment and pond liner installation to a range of complex designs. Other non-landscape examples of applications we have undertaken include slurry lagoon liners, pillow tanks, above and below ground concrete tanks liners and tunnels lining.

The function of a pond liner is to hold water. Choosing the best quality pond liner will mean less risk of damage and resulting water leakage. Today, the most commonly used liner for a formal pond of a square, rectangular, circular or 'L'-shape is Butyl or Epalyn rubber made-to-measure to the exact dimensions of the pond. This type of liner is commonly referred to as a tailored-to-fit or box-welded pond liner.
