This liner is manufactured by Apollo Gardening Ltd under part number 1331167 and ASIN B002N1LGW0, representing a mid-range option for pond enthusiasts. It’s ideal for those seeking to move away from pre-formed pools and craft a truly unique aquatic feature within their garden.
This 4 x 4m liner is constructed from PVC and features a thickness of 0.5mm.

It’s designed for custom pond shapes, allowing you to realise your specific landscaping ideas.
The AquaLiner PVC Pond Liner comes with a 10-year manufacturer warranty. However, it's important to note that the liner requires an underlayment to protect it against sharp stones and debris beneath the pond substrate – this is essential for maximising its lifespan and preventing punctures.
