Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Premium ground preparation — Apply a 50–75mm sand layer to the base and compact smooth. Butyl's premium performance deserves a premium foundation
2. Geotextile underlay is essential — Lay 200gsm geotextile underlay across all surfaces before the Butyl liner — non-negotiable for maximum liner lifespan
3. Careful unfolding — Butyl is heavier than EPDM and benefits from two-person handling on larger sizes. Unfold carefully on a warm day
4. Form with care — Butyl's exceptional elasticity makes forming easy — it stretches readily to contours without stress marks

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Butyl worth the premium over EPDM?
A: For high-value koi ponds, formal garden features, or installations where longevity over 50+ years is important, Butyl's superior elasticity and self-sealing properties make it worth the additional investment.

Q: How do I join two Butyl sheets for a large pond?
A: Butyl sheets can be joined using specialist Butyl bonding tape and primer, creating a molecular bond as strong as the liner itself.

Q: Will Butyl liner affect water chemistry?
A: No. Butyl is completely chemically inert. Safe for koi, goldfish, aquatic plants, and all pond wildlife from day one.

How Much Liner Do I Need?

Measure the longest length, the widest width and the deepest point of the pond, then for each direction:

Liner length = pond length + (2 x maximum depth) + 0.6m
Liner width = pond width + (2 x maximum depth) + 0.6m

The extra 0.6m gives a 30cm overlap on every edge for anchoring. Round up to the next available size; sizes work either way round.

Example: a 3m x 2m pond, 0.6m deep, needs at least 4.8m x 3.8m, so choose the 4m x 5m size.
