Getting ready to build my first water garden. I think I'm going to need to join two pieces of flexible liner together. Can this be done? If so, what is the best thing to do it with? Preferably something I can get at a hardware store. Thanks in advance. mark

You can purchase either tape to do the job for you or silicone sealer. Neither is exactly inexpensive but well worth the money. I have used the tape (double sided) and haven't had a leak at a join yet. It also has the advatage that it has no smell and water can be added to the pond almost immediatly. I would advise Googling for the tape as it may be cheaper online. _________________

Erm now let me think ...... about four or five years so far. The stuff I bought has a 25 year guarantee so well worth the initial expense. _________________
