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.



It was many many moons ago but I believe I used the 45. Last thing I
wanted was a leak, tear, sun deterioration, cold weather crack after
all that work. I was in northern VT. It was 4ft deep because in
winter it would freeze very deep at 20-30 below. Many critters found
their way to it, lived in the summer and hibernated in the winter at
the bottom. Had water plants in pots on a ledge below the water line.
They were dropped to the bottom in winter.

Most of my supplies I got mail order from a large supplier. Prices
then were much better than local. Link for liners:
