About this product
The Butek Ponds Butyl Rubber Garden Pond Liner (3.375 x 5.0m) offers a robust solution for creating your ideal water feature. Manufactured in the UK using British-made materials and vulcanised in their Essex factory, this liner is constructed from 0.75mm thick Butyl Rubber, renowned for its exceptional durability and resistance to degradation. This makes it a superior choice compared to traditional HDPE alternatives, offering long-lasting protection for your pond.
This flexible liner can be folded and moulded to precisely fit the shape of your excavation, ensuring a snug and secure fit. The material is highly UV resistant, preventing cracking or damage from prolonged exposure to sunlight, while remaining non-toxic – ideal for creating a safe environment for fish and wildlife. It boasts a tensile strength of 9 MPa and a tear strength of 30 N/mm, providing reliable protection against punctures and tears.
The liner’s large size – measuring 3.375 x 5.0m – allows for the creation of substantial ponds. Fully vulcanised factory-welded seams guarantee a leak-free fit, contributing to the liner's impressive lifetime guarantee. However, please note that the roll is heavy and may require assistance when positioning alone.
Customer reviews highlight the quality of this product, with many praising its robust construction and suitability for both fish ponds and wildlife habitats. The expected lifespan of around 50 years ensures a long-term investment in your garden project.
