Simply drop the liner in the hole and backfill with earth around it.

In some cases, you may still need to dig out a hole for the pond, but the liner comes in a ready-made pond shape that takes the hassle out of creating and lining the pond. Pros of a preformed pondsĮasy to install: Installing a preformed pond is much easier than creating a pond from scratch.

It is much easier to install than other types of ponds and can be placed above ground, in the ground, or even partially buried. Preformed pondsĪ preformed pond is a pre-moulded garden pond usually made from rigid plastic. That way, you can make an informed decision. In this article, we discuss the pros and cons of a pond liner vs preformed ponds. Many are unsure which option is best for their home or garden. I think I might have planted some creeping jenny already (I'm really new to this!) - just waiting for it to take off, it's growing along rather than down at the moment.Have you ever wondered what the difference is between preformed ponds and a pond liner? If so, you’re not alone. I think the only thing I can do really, short of reworking the liner is to plant it with overhanging plants and lay stones or maybe sleepers as you guys have suggested.

I'm going to bookmark the TEC7 as something to come back to I think, purely because if it's something I'll have to redo I'm not sure it will work for this but it does sound like an interesting idea.

If I was tackling this again I'd just go with vertical sides and slopes within the pond, plus the wood you can see for things like hedgehogs and birds etc to get to and from the water. Thanks so much for all the replies - I grabbed a photo of the pond today to demonstrate the liner problem, and how sloping the sides are. Moss is something you have to take for granted.įor using cloth than maybe coconut fibre would be longer lasting than hessian. That's why there are no moss nurseries growing mosses for the trade. Moss likes climate to be constant and it can die as fast as it can grow if climate changes uncontroled through out the year. I see it come and go, grow and die all year round. Still not a guarantee mosses will grow to it, Growing mosses is as easy as it is difficult.

In your case i would start with a small patch and see how it works out and holds. So even this wont be long term permanent at some point maybe 2 or 3 seasons you might see patches letting lose again you need to fix and or redo. I oly did that in small projects, like little waterfalls etc.Īnd note PE is nasty stuff it is inert but also very hard to get anything t stick to it.

If it is cheaper i dunno, i actualy have no idea how much surface you can cover with 1 tube of kit. I creates a rough film of substrate layer on the liner for mosses to attach. Let the kit cure for 24 hours and gently brush off the excess dirt with a soft brush. TEC7 does addhere beter to PE liner than silicone does and the advantage is, it is completely non toxic and even cures under water.Īnyway smear the kit over the exposed liner with you fingers after that threw some dirt, sand peat and leaf litter or fine gravel over and in the kit, just make sure it is dry what you throw in. Than take a tube TEC7 polymer kit and a rubber glove. What you could do is take a coarse sandpaper and sand the exposed liner, obviously without damaging it, just rough it up a bit.
