They are cheaper if you buy from places like Burnco. If you buy from garden centres then they are a bit more expensive. My 1000ish gallon pond was roughly $300 worth of liner. And I had a lot left over.

I paid just over $1000 for my liner and underlay. My pond is roughly 1400gal(15' X 9') but deep along with a bog garden to one side and my 30 foot long stream. I got to claim some of it back on the home renovation credit they did a few years ago.

With the Victoria day long weekend pond season has officially started! I noticed that my waterfall had sprung a leak so that was one of the first things I tackled this weekend. I wasn't too surprised as my waterfall was of a very cheap plastic to begin. Upgraded to a higher quality waterfall:



Waterfall back up and running!





feeding time! Ya, they're really really hungry!









As usual, the marsh marigold is the first thing to bloom every year.



Still have a few things to do, like a water change and clear out some string algae and apply a pond clarifier. I got a #ProTip from Dez to try Hydrogen Peroxide, unfortunately it's virtually impossible to find here in Calgary but I did manage to find a powdered version in the form of Sodium Percarbonate. Going to give that a go and see if that helps clarify the water more.
