Types of water garden pool – comparison 3
In the first and second part of this article we discussed plastic and fibreglass pools. Now we will be discussing other types of pools.
Vacuum-Formed Moulding - There are some small pre-shaped pools that are moulded from semi-rigid sheets of plastics such as PVC and polythene, which makes them lighter than fibreglass. These pre-shaped pools are not only lighter but are designed to be as cheap as possible.
Just like any other type of pool, vacuum-formed pool types also comes with some deficiencies. They are often deficient in depth and volume, and most are too small to be useful as anything but bird baths. They are relatively inexpensive and could be the answer if the children want a pool of their own for keeping newts and tadpoles.
Pool Liners – Liners are the most popular method of making pool nowadays because of the simplicity and effectiveness. Pond liner techniques are very simple and economically better compared to others. All that is needed is to excavate your pond and line with a sheet of flexible plastic, known as a pool liner.
There are several kinds of pool liner. One is a polythene type which is better quality compared to other types and requires a different installation technique. It’s easy and faster to set up. However, just like any other plastics and related materials polythenes are highly vulnerable. So there is a need to take good care of them and protect them from sharp objects and any incidents that can cause damage. PVC and Reinforced PVC are other types of liners with better quality.
