Geo Liners for Decorative Ponds

Geo liners for decorative ponds help to enhance the beauty and value of your property. Whether the pond will be for aesthetics, attracting wildlife, fishing, or lacing up your skates in the winter; there are many factors to consider when designing and building your dream pond.

 

Area and Depth

Depending on the climate and intended use of your constructed pond, depth may be more of a factor than most people realize. If the pond will be constructed in a climate with four seasons and is intended to maintain fish stock; certain areas, depths, and slopes are suggested to allow aquatic life to thrive. For a vibrant fish population or cool swimming hole, a minimum pond area of 1/2 to 1 acre is recommended, with as much as the pond as possible reaching a depth of 15 feet and side slopes at 1:3 for fish habitat and 1:4 for swimming access. This combination of depth and relatively steep side slopes help reduce aquatic plant growth. An irregular shoreline is also helpful for fishery habitat. If the main goal of the pond is to attract wildlife, a shallower 1-4-foot depth in most of the pond and flatter 1:10 side slopes are recommended to encourage plant growth and easy access for wildlife.


Geo Liners for Decorative Ponds

 

Lining

To line, or not to line? That is the question! Soil type is crucial in determining whether a geosynthetic lining system is needed to maintain a pond. In the absence of relatively impervious clay soils or bedrock; a geo lining system is almost always the best bet for water retention and sustaining a relatively consistent water level. This not only keeps the cost of recharging the water low if not being refilled naturally, but also provides a consistent environment for sustaining aquatic life within the pond.


The Right Type of Liner

Once the decision to use a geomembrane liner has been made, the intended uses and surrounding environment again come into play when determining the type of liner that is best suited for the project. Whether the liner will be left exposed or covered with soil is one factor to consider as some lining systems are formulated for sun exposure as others are not. The intended use of the pond is another factor, especially if the pond will be used for swimming or wading, as a smooth geomembrane tends to be slippery when wet, and a textured lining system may be better suited for specific practices. If the liner is to be left exposed, and wildlife may be using the pond (especially types with hooves) a scrim-reinforced geomembrane with increased puncture resistance may be key to reducing the risk of liner damage.

Our goal is to provide you with a water-tight pond to enjoy on your property year-round. The team at Shandong Luyuan has years of experience in design and installation to help you choose the best layout and liner for your decorative pond; give us a call!

What Is a Dimpled Drainage Matting?

What Is a Dimpled Drainage Matting? Most  dimpled drainage matting  consist of a polypropylene or high-density polyethylene  sheet, molded into a series of raised knobs, or dimples. Polyethylene dimpled drainage mat helps water flow away from the foundation. Without it, water can stay trapped against the concrete or pool at the bottom. Drainage mats come with a dimpled design that lets water accumulate and flow away, creating an air gap. When a dimple mat is placed against a concrete wall, the dimples make the plastic stand out from the wall, leaving a free-draining air space between the plastic and the concrete. If any water reaches this air space, it easily flows to the bottom of the dimple mat. As water flows, it picks up small particles of silt and soil. When water stops moving—like when it reaches a concrete wall—silt and soil will accumulate, further increasing the pressure against the foundation. A drainage ma's membrane protects the mat from sediment clogging...

Geocell For Slope Protection

  Geocell For Slope Protection Everyone knows that when a car is driving on the desert, it will press two deep tracks, the pressed part sinks deeply, and the two sides of the track will bulge high. If the vehicle behind continues to advance along the rut, the sinking part will sink further, and the bulging part will bulge further, until the bulging part hits the chassis of the car, and the sinking rut buries most of the wheels, making it impossible to move forward. The reason for this is because when an external load acts on the surface of the foundation, according to Planttel theory and Taylor theory, it can be known that under the action of concentrated load, the active zone is compressed and sinks, and the force is decomposed and transmitted to the transition on both sides. Zone, the transition zone is passed to the passive zone, and the passive zone will deform and bulge without restriction. Features: 1. It is flexible in expansion and contraction, and can be folded during tran...
