Do an ebay search, Ken. I've seen rolls 1/2 price what vendors charge. The thick edpm stuff too.

Thank you guys for the tips and links--It looks like that I am still looking at $1200 or so and dont want to put that into a liner for a big goldfish pond at this time. I have not fully researched the Ebay possibilities, However, I looked at a few of those for about a hour the other night. By any chance, did you happen to remember the way the 1/2 price liner was listed on Ebay?---Ken Sweet

I did a search for roll pond liner to keep out the little molded types. If I remember correctly there were some cheaper 20mil PVC types also, but I think you have to cover those with dirt or sun degrades them and don't let stock around pond or they'll punch through it. Seems like a 20 X 100 roll was less than $200.

That should work fine--I can live with those prices--I will not have stock in this area and can deal with the UV rays--Thanks again--Ken Sweet
