Hi
Due to start new pond build and have no idea of fibreglass pricing, can someone give an idea of price, and maybe recommend someone (surrey area) pond will be 5m x 3m x 6ft deep, about 6600 gallons or 30,000 litres.

Decided on 2 spindrift b/d 2 skimmers.

The one Guy I would recommend without hesitation would be Matt of GRPLining Services, he is based in Derby but glasses ponds all over the Country.

He will not be the cheapest, but quality in both materials and workmanship is always worth paying just that little extra for.

Is the fibreglass so much better than render and pond paint ?

Can you fibreglass over celotex on walls ?

MarkD

Fibreglass is the way to go whatever the cost, celotex are fine. Its what I used in my pond, make sure the joints are covered with silver jointing tape.

Thanks MarkD,
has the fibreglass got extreme strengh as the celotex may dip in places due to pressure of water.
Do you need to render over block work or can you just celotex then fibreglass ?

Great link, wish I would have seen it a few weeks ago.
I just got my new pond rendered, would have gone for the insolation boards
instead. Looks very professional.
