Pond liners come in several types, and vary in flexibility, affordability, and durability. The most common types are flexible liners, made from materials like EPDM rubber, PVC, and RPE. EPDM rubber is highly durable, UV-resistant, and flexible, making it popular for custom-shaped ponds. PVC liners are typically more affordable and offer flexibility, though they may degrade faster under UV exposure.
RPE liners are known for their strength, durability and chemical resistance, and are cost-effective for both large and small ponds. There are also rigid or preformed liners made from durable plastic or fiberglass. These are molded into specific shapes, which can be easier to install but are significantly less adaptable to custom designs.
