Pond liner?
 
Hiiiii :)

Im having a new wooden tortoise table built.....what sort of pond liner should i use for the inside to prevent the wood rotting?

PVC?
3-ply?
Any other suggestions?

I honestly didnt realise pond liner was SO expensive :shock:

I don't use pond liner a little but cheaper is to get those giant wheelie bin liners and line it with that then wen it comes to clean out it is way easier as u can remove sum soil with ur hands but then gather up th rest and lift it all out in one swift action lol really works a treat :) but I no a lot of people use pond liner xx

Thick polythene or heavy duty rubble/rubbish bags is a lot cheaper than pond liner and work just as well.

I bought some cheap vinyl floor tiles and stuck those onto the base, am going to put them on the sides too.

That will work. You can silicone the seams, at least the edges, so water doesn't work its way under the tiles.

Thanks everyone! :) May look into the Bin liner idea :)

Much appreciated :)

I got some pond liner off the roll at a local aquatics shop, it was the basic stuff and was 10 for 1 meter by 4 meter wide strip. If you wanted say 2 meters by 4 then it would have been 20.

This stuff is sooooo strong it will last for years and will definatly prolong the life of your table. I tried some tarps and things but nothing compares to the pond liner.

I think nothing compares to pond liner either, as has been said it lasts years and easy to clean/disinfect and when they are digging it wont rip. i got quite a large sheet that did 2 large tables for about £17 off of Amazon and it will last years x
