FLP Pond Liner adds tranquil touch to Devon farmhouse FLP, a brand of leading landscape supplier Green-tech has supplied the pond liner for a stunning new pond installed in a farmhouse located in South Devon. SWP Hydraulics from Devon approached FLP after an internet search. Their sales advisor provided guidance on measurements to work out the correct size needed. The pond is 29 meters long, 10 meters wide and 1.5m deep and after discussion an order was placed for 0.75mm Green Seal EPDM liner which has a reassuring 20-year guarantee. EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane liner ideal for lining ponds, lakes, lagoons and streams. Ideal for aquatic installations, EPDM is a popular choice for larger projects where unusual shapes, contours and sizes are required. It is a highly robust pond liner and is resistant to UV degradation and other harsh environmental conditions. The EPDM pond liners can be installed all year-round as they remain extremely flexible at various temperatures. Nathan from SWP Hydraulics comments, “We decided to install a feature pond which would be designed to seamlessly blend the stunning Devon countryside with the tranquil calm of water which can all be enjoyed at close quarters from the deck. Having found Green-tech with a simple search online. The support and advise from specification through to fitting was excellent. It was quite a task to install and took nearly 3 weeks to fill from our Well, but we are very pleased with the end results.”
