Have any of you ever built an outdoor pond? I'm curious whether I
really need to use 45 mil pond liner, or can I save $$$ and go with 20
mil for about 30% less?

I'm in NC, if it matters.

*Yes, use 45 mil. *We have a 1000 gal pond, 8 years old. *This next spring
going to double or triple the size. *Used 45 mil last time and will again.

PS. Private pond nice feature. There may be insurance/liability
implications if one 'builds' a pond and if someone were to wander in
(especially if property unfenced) and fall in. This similar to a
having an unfenced, locked gate access, private swimming pool on one's
property. If pond is/was a natural feature of the landscape the
situation might be different?
