Geotextile Protective Material

Step 1: Excavate and Clear the Area
Dig your pond and remove any sharp rocks, roots, or debris from the excavated surface.

Step 2: Lay the Geotextile
Roll the fabric out over the entire pond area, including the bottom and sides, allowing it to conform naturally to slopes and curves.

Step 3: Position Your Liner
Lay your EPDM Rubber or Reinforced Polyethylene liner directly over the geotextile, smoothing out wrinkles as you go.

Step 4: Add Extra Protection as Needed
Use additional geotextile on any exposed edges or shelves around the pond perimeter to guard against sun and abrasion.

What is geotextile protective material used for?
It's a non-woven fabric underlayment placed beneath a pond liner to protect it from punctures caused by rocks, roots, and other sharp debris in the soil.

It also helps the liner conform smoothly to steep excavation sides.

Which pond liners is this compatible with?
It's designed to protect both EPDM Rubber pond liners and Reinforced Polyethylene (RPE) pond liners.

Using it under either liner type helps extend the liner's usable lifespan.

Can I order a custom size?
Yes. In addition to the five standard roll sizes listed, custom sizes can be ordered by calling our customer support center at 800.522.3747 (Monday–Friday, 8am–4pm PST).

Why is shipping higher than the checkout estimate?
Geotextile material is heavy and bulky, so actual freight charges apply to every shipment and typically exceed the estimate shown at checkout.
