Wondering If Greenseal Lake Liners Are The Right Choice For You?

People in the UK have always been interested in having their own private lake on their property, and until know the only solutions were concrete and other fixed liners which are not only costly but also expensive to maintain. With Flexible Lining Products Greenseal Lake Liners, however, property owners are only required to make an initial investment. The installation process for Greenseal Lake Liners is pretty straight forwards and does not require persons performing the installation to have received previous training. Greenseal Rubber is a fantastic material that ensures a very large life span with practically no chances for it ever having to be replaced.

The company presenting Greenseal Rubber Lake Liners to UK based customers offer them the option of purchasing entire Greenseal in roll forms or Greenseal Lake Liners in prefabricated sheets that are already to specifications. This material does not incorporate any harmful chemicals or other hazardous substances, so that any wild life present will be able to flourish. Also, the costs for the manufacturing of FLP’s Greenseal Lake Liners are significantly lower than those for other materials which also incorporate natural rubber.

Greenseal Rubber products are 100% synthetic, in order to present its customers with a further reassurance as to the characteristics of the Greenseal Lake Liners, all FLP’s Greenseal products come with a life time guarantee against any latent manufacturing defects. Unlike most other materials used for lining lakes and ponds, Greenseal Rubber Lake Liners are extremely easy to repair, and any tears or leaks can be repaired within one hour. The process of preparing the surfaces which accommodate the greenseal lake liners is not different from the processes required for other techniques.

First, you need to mark the dimensions of the future lake or large pond. Shape and size are not an issue as FLP’s Greenseal EPDM is a very versatile material and can be cut to very precise specifications. The next step is to excavate the surface according to the specified depth ensuring that the necessary precautions for under membrane drainage / gas venting if required. The final but probably most important step is to ensure that not only the anchor trench detailing is correct but steps are made to ensure the liner is covered for both cosmetic and practical reasons before actually filling the surface with water..

In the UK, Flexible Lining Products Limited created their own brand name and now registered trade mark Greenseal Rubber Pond & Lake Liners offering its customers with full support in terms of guidance, and installation services (part of full). This type of product is especially designed and fabricated to be used for lining lakes and ponds, and for any other uses customers are advised to make inquiries.

Anyone considering pond or lake liners should use materials that are suitable for their purposes, and avoid products which could fail prematurely i.e. not being UV stable, thus making Greenseal Rubber far superior to other materials, including PVC which is notorious for its predisposition to cracking on the surfaces which are not covered by water, or protected from the sun.

Use Greenseal Pond Liners To Create The Pond Of Your Dreams

The world as we know seems to be constantly transforming into a place where we can enjoy the natural benefits and joys of our planet less and less. Forests and plains are constantly being eradicated in order to accommodate more residential areas, supermarkets, office buildings and so on. Consequently, a large number of people from the United Kingdom and other countries from all around the world are being drawn to the idea of having their own personal oasis right in their own back yard. While traditionally people were only directed to creating gardens, with the advances made in the field of flexible materials, it is now quite easy and cost effective to build your own pond in your back yard.

The best choice seems to be Flexible Lining Products Limited own brand Greenseal Pond Liners, made out of  EPDM Rubber. Greenseal Rubber is a fantastic material which is not only flexible but is also totally UV resistant. This type of liner is now readily available to customers from the United Kingdom, and other countries at prices that make these Greenseal Pond Liners more than affordable to basically anyone interested in having their own personal pond. Because Greenseal EPDM is a very flexible and malleable material, Greenseal Rubber Pond Liners do not restrict owners from deciding upon the dimensions of their future ponds. When compared to any of the other alternatives that may be used for creating a pond, the benefits of installing Flexible Lining Products Greenseal Pond Liners become all the more visible.

The first factor, which is what many people consider to be the most important, is repair options. Regular, fixed, cement liners are extremely costly to repair, as any defects that might appear require owners to drain the entire pond, hire professionals to repair the damage, wait for the repairs to dry, and then refill the pond. When adding these costs to the initial costs, you can easily see that this solution is not near as effective as FLP’s Greenseal Pond Liners made out of Greenseal EPDM which is extremely resistant. And if any punctures do appear in the Greenseal Rubber material, they can easily be repaired by absolutely anyone cheap and fast, having the pond back like it used to be in just a couple of hours. As people have their own set requirements and expectations, the company that provides United Kingdom customers with Greenseal Pond Liners namely Flexible Lining Products Ltd is offering a wide selection of products, featuring thicknesses including 0.75mm, 0.85mm and 1.00mm and sizes.

In order to assure their clients will not have any problems with their registered trade mark Greenseal Pond Liners based on Greenseal rubber materials, manufacturers offer clients a lifetime warrantee for any manufacturing defects. When it comes to how thin or thick the Greenseal Rubber must be, you should know that it all depends on the actual size of your future pond versus the application requirement. Greenseal Rubber pond liners are the brand name of Flexible Lining Products first introduced by them into the United Kingdom in early 2003

FLP Polyfelt TS60 260gsm Premium Quality Protective Geotextile. A mechanically bonded non-woven (premium geotextile) made of UV stabilised polypropylene filament.Polyfelt geotextiles are an exceptional high performance and flexible protective barrier applied in all types of commercial and domestic pond liner applications including as separating and filter layer for construction site soil stabilisation and drainage.Technical Data - click here    
Prices reflected INCLUDE 15% VAT                

At these prices the cost of using a protective geotextile underlay as a barrier against stones,roots,shale,wildlife, etc is incredibly cheap compared to the cost,time and effort of having to drain,uplift paving or liner in order to carry out repairs to a hole in a liner where an alternative material has failed.

Remember, every few years you may have to enter the pond to  carry out maintenance  i.e clean debri or clear overgrown plants - a long lasting protective barrier is therefore essential as it helps “cushion” ones body weight against the possibility of a stone to be pushed through the liner, from beneath.

All our pond liners carry the appropriate guarantee against any latent manufacturing defects, IRRESPECTIVE of what protective underlay you decide to use i.e underlay,geotextile or carpet etc.

Carpet or carpet underlay is widely used as a cheap or free alternative to underlay,whilst these materials offer good protection, it is sometimes is only be short term solution as ground-damp could rot most carpets leaving the liner exposed to sharp stones and other abrasive materials.Additionally they are not designed to curb root damage etc.

Sand is also widely used as a protective barrier,although do not offer any protection against root damage.Kindly ensure that the layer of sand is fairly thick, as the ground will “absorb” some sand over time - also we would recommend an alternative protective material be applied on banks as sand tends to dry out and gather at the bottom of the pond leaving the liner exposed. 

Note:   Carriage surcharge on all full rolls

Note:   FLP Polyfelt TS60 are cut off the roll in 10.0m, 15.0m, 20.0m or 30.0m increments lengths

 Steep slopes, river banks, ditches, spillways and other exposed areas are often prone to damage caused by erosion due to wind or water. FLP Erocell can help to prevent erosion by confining soils and aggregates to within the cell structure.Varying degrees of protection can be afforded by selecting alternative in-fill materials. Seeded topsoil provides protection for less exposed areas. Protection may be increased by introducing vegetation such as small shrubs.For greater protection, a granular in-fill can be used in certain circumstances. Appropiate in-fills can also be chosen to give a desired surface appearance.The standard FLP Cellular System for erosion protection, FLP Erocell, is normally suitable for use on slopes with an incline of up to 45 degrees (1:1 slopes). If the slope angle is greater than 45 degrees, additional considerations need to be given to the design of the cellular system and the standard FLP EROCELL may not be suitable. In these instances please contact us for further assessment. TYPE Incl.

Each site is unique and particular precautions for ensuring a successful installation may differ from site to site.When planning installation, attention should be given to ensuring that all equipment and tools required for installation are available. In addition, sufficient personnel (with the necessary skills) should be employed on the installation work. Adequate precautions should also be taken to ensure the safety of personnel. Some of the other matters to consider when planning installation include:• Desired shapes and sizes of the cells• Methods for compacting the slope surface (during surface preparation)• Methods for fixing FLP EROCELL to the installation surface• Anchoring details, to prevent excessive down-slope movement of FLP EROCELL• Methods for filling the cells• Methods for compacting the in-fill material into the cells, if required.This list is by no means exhaustive and the designer should include all other necessary considerations. If planned correctly, the installation of FLP EROCELL should be a trouble-free experience.(b) Site Preparation Geocells perform better when installed on even,well-prepared surfaces. Prior to installing FLP EROCELL, it is advised that the slope surface is made level and even. Any sharp objects and stones that are much larger than (or significantly different in shape and angularity from) the intended fill material (i.e material to be placed in the cells) should be removed. If necessary, to achieve a level surface, compaction of the slope surface should be undertaken. If required, a suitable geotextile may be used as a separator between the geocell and the slope surface.

Flexible Lining Products Ltd are proud to become a founding member and supporter of The Big Pond Dip 2009 run by Pond Conservation the national charity dedicated to creating and protecting ponds and the wildlife they support

Everyone knows that one of the best things you can do for wildlife in the garden is to put in a pond. But amazingly nobody really knows what you need to do to make a great wildlife garden pond. What’s the best size and depth? How important is really clean water? What should the edges be like? Is there enough shallow water? There are lots of myths about making ponds in garden - now we want to try to get to the real truth. By taking part in the Big Pond Dip, you are helping Pond Conservation to find out what is living in garden and school ponds, to start answering some of these questions. The information you gather will tell us how good garden ponds are for wildlife. It will also help us to tell what types of pond support the most animal life. We will use this information to give advice about how to make garden ponds even better for wildlife

POND PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION DETAILS - Basic tips
The installation of any pond liner should be a fairly straightforward procedure provided these simple rules are followed:

 Planning:
This is the most important part of pond building and one that can save a lot of  time, effort and expense, so don’t rush it.
Decide where the pond is to be sited, ideally a level site that receives at least half-a-days sunlight and is not crossed by buried pipes or cables. Also check the availability of electricity and the cost of running pumps, lights etc.
The only limit to the size of the liner is how much you can afford. The use of a length of rope or garden hose laid out in the proposed shape of your pond should help you decide what is right for your site.
The depth of the pond should be a minimum of 18” and generally speaking the deeper, the better as this helps maintain a more stable temperature and avoids complete freezing in winter.
 

Excavation:

When digging the pond try to ensure a slope of 15 degrees (3” in for every 9” down) on all sides and incorporate shelves at different depths to accommodate the needs of various aquatic plants.
Make sure the top of the pond is level, that all sharp objects are removed and that there are no roots that may grow and penetrate the liner.  It is a good idea to line the pond with FLP pond liner underlay (available from your retailer) as an added precaution against damage to the liner.
 

Liner Installation: Now that the excavation is finished the liner can be draped evenly over the hole and allowed to settle into the contours of the pond, keeping an even overlap on all sides.
 The next step is to push the liner roughly into place and check that there is sufficient overlap on all sides at the top of the pond.
 

Now begin to fill the pond and as the weight of water pushes the liner into the pond, ease out any small wrinkles and neatly pleat any larger folds. When the pond is full, leave for at least 48 hours before finishing around the top edges (this is to ensure that the liner has not been damaged during installation). 

The pond may now be finished off in the manner chosen.  A few of the more popular methods of edging have been illustrated below, but if cement is used, any that will come into contact with the water must be neutralised with an appropriate sealant. (Ask your aquatic dealer for the information). Ensure that paving slabs overlay the pond by at least 2” to hide and protect the edge of the liner. 

General:Always keep the water level right up to the top. This will require topping up in the summer as evaporation can reduce levels by several inches in a very short time. 

A liner that is exposed to the elements will have a shorter life and be more prone to mechanical damage. Take care when cleaning the pond, or retrieving objects that have dropped into it, that you avoid puncturing the liner by the use of sharp implements (garden fork, rakes, sticks etc).
 

Finishing:
