Pond lining material for large ponds

Before beginning to talk about the pond lining material, let’s make one thing clear, when we are talking about large ponds, we are talking about ponds larger than 5000sqft area.

Having a large pond is more challenging than having a small one, just for the simple fact that having more area increases the possibilities and places where the pond could leak.

Bentonite for Ponds

Bentonite pond sealant is a powdered mineral clay that will blend seamlessly with the ecology of your pond. It is free of chemical additions or hazardous materials, therefore you can safely hold it in your hands, use it for a fish or a duck pond, or a wildlife pond. It is especially ideal for stock and farm ponds because it won’t be damaged by the steps and weight of the stock.

If you have nearby vegetation, it is also a great option, because if the plants can’t or won’t be removed, you can arrange the bentonite over it and it will significantly reduce the water seepage, if not eliminate it, without any damage to the ecosystem.
