Preformed Pond Liners...

Pre-formed ponds are great for smaller areas, where forming a shape using a flexible pond liner would create numerous folds which could look unsightly. There are many different installation techniques from a sunken informal finish to a raised formal pool.

An informally shaped pre-formed pond is an ideal habitat for plenty of wildlife and plants along with a few fish. The edging can be laid informally or formally depending on the desired finished effect., 

Basic Rules for Pre-formed Pools

  • Never position a pool in a area where there is a high water table or flash flooding.

  • Pre-formed pools must have all round support, ensure you have created a sand bed for the pool to sit on and pack sand down between the excavation and the pool sides.

  • Take care over ensuring your pool is level (see Level Edging)

  • Allow the filled pond to settle for at least a week, then recheck levels before placing any edging around the pool.

  • With raised pre-formed ponds it is best to use a dry sand / cement mix (6/1 mix) between the pool’s side and supporting walls.
