We have gone round and round on the subject of roof vs pond liners. Among
our number, there must be a bunch of users of roofing liner. How about
weighing in?

Phyllis and I have roof liner for two of our smaller ponds and for the
streams. No toxicity we can detect.

I am not sure of the brand but I bought the 45 mill stuff from Menards. Used
the glue for doing roofs for the 30 foot seam and the only fish that died my
first year of ponding has been the ones that were small and got sucked into
the filter. OOOPS

Our liner has been in for four years. It is standard roofing liner. Don't
remember the brand. We used roofing cement to do the joints and drains (20'
of joint and 4 drains).
Ponds are 3900 gallons total.

I used 45 mil roofing material purchased from a local roofing
materials supplier. 40' x 50' piece. Just hosed it off before
installing. It has been 4 years now and I have never lost a fish with
the exception of the one that got to the pump.

I found a local manufacturer of EDPM that was designed for containment ponds
around the tanks they store gas, etc. in. I used that and have no
problems....
