new here

Gee..it's great to know there are other Canadians on here, hopefully we can
exchange resources. You being a Maritimer as I am must know that here there
are very few resources. At least in NB.
I will certainly check out the site you gave me, thank you. I did just
purchase a new liner for the upper smaller pond. It is actually from a tarp
company and is .16 per foot. You can also get it with a rubberized backing,
I think it is 1.24 per sq foot. This stuff is the same as the original pond
and has served me very very well. It is easy to work with and folds really
well. It is also good for patching should it require any (haha...of course
it will!!) When I started ponding all those years ago this was the only
stuff available around here, cost me 300.+ for that liner!!! Now that same
pond is bigger and needs to be relined and it only cost 30. something. If it
lasts as long as the original, I'll be happy. For the big pond I would love
to be able to get the EPDM....but it would cost a considerable amount. Maybe
by then the craze will die down and the costs will reflect it. Someone told
me mine is a PVC liner??? Black one side white the other, a woven material.
Nice to meet you all, I look forward to sharing ideas.

Thank you everyone and Kathy...so nice to see another Canadian!!

Careful, there. K30's gone over to the Dark Side (she's in Washington).
I'm on the Eastern Shore in Nova Scotia. There's quite a few other
Canadian regulars here.

The large pond is actually lined with a pool liner. It was brand new in
the
box and I got it for very little as they had ordered the wrong size I
am hoping to get about 5 yrs out of it before I reline it with the proper
stuff. It will be quite costly to do.

Depends what you consider costly. HDPE isn't too bad. I'm thinking of
using it on my next pond. Check out NorthernGreenhouse.com - I haven't
tried their pond liners, yet, but our greenhouse survived Hurricane Juan,
so I know the product's good. Prices as low as CDN$0.25/sq.ft.

As far as knowledge...well I can only tell you the mistakes I made!! LOL
It has been on ongoing learning experience as I'm sure you are already
aware. Ponds never get finished, the continue to evolve.

See, you've only been on this newsgroup a day, and you're already in sync
with us. We look at it as an addiction - but none of us are ready to be
cured :-)
