Garden Pond and Water Feature Supplies
Ponds and water gardens have become popular in recent years.
New products and materials have made it simple and affordable
to create a wide variety of landscape water features.
Your first step is to plan the size and location of your new pond,
then to determine its overall style and how it will fit with your
existing landscape.
You can design a formal or informal aboveground or inground pond,
with or without plants and fish.
The edging of your pond should be selected for compatibility
with the surrounding landscape and may include pavers, flagstone,
decking materials, boulders or turf.
A variety of low voltage pond lighting fixtures are also available
for creating special effects and after dark enjoyment.
Be sure to consider child safety issues and GFI electrical outlet
protection in your plans.
Flexible liner materials or preformed pond liners are used to retain
the water in your garden pond.
Flexible liners enable you to create ponds, streams, and waterfalls
in virtually any size and configuration. Sections can be overlapped
and joined with seam tape or sealer. For a quality job, consider
using either butyl rubber or EPDM-SF liners. They are expensive
but usually come with a 20-year warranty. PVC liners are somewhat
less expensive, but they may be toxic to fish and plants. Not
recommended are inexpensive polyethylene liners, which are difficult
to repair and vulnerable to UV light.
Preformed pond liners are well-suited for aboveground ponds, and they
are available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and styles.
Preformed fiberglass liners are generally more durable and more expensive
than rigid plastic liners.
Submersible or external pond pumps are used to recirculate water in
the pond; they use household current and are easy to install.
Pumps can be used to create running streams, falling waterfalls,
and spraying fountains as well as to drain ponds when required.
A pond filter can keep your pond water clear and prevent your pump
from clogging with debris. Filters are built in to some pond
pumps, but separate filters are required for many applications.
A series of pipes, valves and pipe fittings are used in conjunction
with the pump and filter to deliver water where needed, to connect the
pump, filter, and accessories, and to control and direct the flow
of water. With today's simplified techniques and equipment, a small
water feature can often be installed in a day or two!
