A simple and cost-effective method of constructing a pond

The use of a heavy duty pond liner from Stephens Industries is a simple and cost-effective method of constructing a pond – which can be easily adapted for many different shapes and sizes. The choice of the liner material to be used is often based on its application; required life of the liner, site conditions, and budget. We supply domestic liners for garden ponds and industrial pond liners, so cater for many scenarios.

These are all things we are happy to discuss and offer our expert advice to ensure that the materials used are right for you. More information on the types of liners available from Stephens Industries can be found below.

Elevate Pond Liners

We have two options for Elevate Pond liners available:

• Elevate PondGard 1.02mm EPDM is suitable for lakes, lagoons, and swimming ponds of all sizes and shapes. We can supply Elevate 1.02mm EPDM as cut sheets, in widths 8 – 50 ft (in 2ft increments) up to 100ft long. If larger sizes are required, then we can also add a factory weld to join sheets together.

• Elevate GeoSmart 1.00mm EPDM, this material comes with the exceptional properties of EPDM in terms of durability, elasticity, flexibility and puncture resistance, making GeoSmart EPDM the perfect fit for water containment applications such as agricultural ponds and pits and silage covers.
• Elevate PondEasy 0.80mm EPDM, this liner is sold by length (in metres), cut from large sheets varying from 3m to 9m wide and up to 30m long. This means you can get a seamless sheet up to 9m x 30m, making it ideal for small to large ponds.

aquaSHIELD Protective Matting

aquaSHIELD protective matting is a high-quality, non-woven polypropylene geotextile pond liner underlay for use with all types of pond liner. We would recommend that you do not install any liner without a protective pond liner underlay as this reduces the risk of damage during both installation and use, including from stones, roots, and sharp objects.

Pond Liner Calculator

Here at Stephens Industries, we aid our customers throughout the UK with getting the right size materials for their requirements. To find the correct size of pond liner you require, please follow the rule-of-thumb instructions below or simply use our pond liner calculator. Measure the greatest width, greatest length, and maximum depth. To calculate the size of the liner you need:

Liner Width = maximum width + twice maximum depth
Liner Length = maximum length + twice maximum depth

Box Welded Liners

Box Welded Pond Liner is one of our most popular forms here at Stephens Industries. Plastic and Glass fibre liners provide shape, but are bulky, fragile, and are only available in a very limited range of sizes. Flat sheet lining is convenient but can be difficult to shape and install into intricate shapes. Unlike Plastic and glass fibre liners, or sheet liners, Stephens Industries Rediliners Box Welded Pond Liner is prefabricated to almost any shape, without unattractive folds or creases.

These prefabricated box-welded pond liners are constructed of flexible and durable SealEco EPDM liners. Within the design specification, it is possible to include planting shelves, inlet, and outlet pipes and overlaps for fixing. Our box-welded pond liner solutions are more adaptive for our customers.

Simply excavate, lay protective matting, install the liner and fill. Alternatively, if you would prefer this service to be fully done by us we can have the Stephens Industries installation team sent out to you to complete the job.

Koi Pond Installations

Rediliner Box Welded Pond Liners can also be used as part of koi pond installations throughout the UK. Being prefabricated to any shape or size, our expert team can work to the depth that is recommended when keeping koi fish. Koi, being larger than most fish need more room to move around – both vertically and horizontally and with Stephens Industries supplying Rediliner for various customers throughout the UK over the years, we sure can help you

Installation Services

Stephens Industries has many years of experience in installing liners for ponds. We believe strongly that synthetic rubbers such as Elevate and Butyl / EPDM are the best materials for pond installation, as they are the most cost-effective over the life of the pond liner, typically 40 years. Cheaper materials are available, but they have a much shorter life expectancy.

As part of our pond installation service, we undertake site surveys to ensure that the pond is properly prepared, discuss the material options, measure the site accurately, and review any special design and construction details such as bonding onto vertical walls and sealing around pipes. In agreement with all the details, our specialist-trained team will install the liner.

Our pond liner installation contractors are fully trained and qualified in Elevate, EPDM / Butyl, and other specialist materials, and work throughout the UK. We believe passionately that quality and experience matter, so if you require a dedicated team to help you complete your project on time and with a quality finish, please contact us for a discussion about our expert pond installation service.
