In drought-prone areas like California, flexible geomembranes are an absolute must if you’re building a pond. One of the biggest reasons why is that without rains to replenish aquifers, pond levels will steadily drop throughout the year. Some of that water loss will be due to evaporation, which is unavoidable, but in earth-lined ponds, even more of that water loss will be due to seepage through the pond’s bottom. Flexible geomembranes prevent this seepage, which helps to keep ponds fuller for longer.
In addition to preventing seepage, flexible liners like the products we offer here at BTL Liners offer a variety of other benefits. They’re affordable compared to other types of liner materials like concrete or bentonite clay, and they easily conform to the available space that you have. With that, they’re also easier to install and maintain, and you can readily find liners through us that are fish and plant safe. Weather resistance is another important factor—and our liners have higher UV resistance than other types of liners, which makes them ideal for standing up against all that California sunshine.
