[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 1096452, member: 4505"] My first question would be, where is the water table? My second question is, if the base is clay, why line it? Clay is impermeable to water, though it does depend. We had to construct some fish ponds and got in a specialist. We were thinking of visqueen sheets. He pointed out that we had plenty of peat on site which can do the same job at no cost. This surveyor told us that he had created lagoons in the Middle East by just scooping a depression in the sand, then spraying with bitumen. Our contractor up here (north of Scotland) created duck ponds for the RSPB and said he had never yet had to lay a membrane. He made one for us which is quite large. No lining and it is always full of water. Just thought. [/QUOTE]
