Using Tarps for Liner

colorfulcritters Oct 11, 2007 06:03 AM

Hi, I'm thinking about using a tarp for pond liner. Are there any dangers of toxins coming from tarps?

It's a silly question, but actually I have to jerry rig a pond right now because I'm living in Taiwan, haven't a knowledge of the language to say and find pond liner. I don't think they have it here either.

I have used a tripple layered ( set of 3 the same )
blue roof tarps from the home depot .
In my pond now for 3 years , I did it as a quick thing and was going to replace it with a real black rubber pond liner but I never got around to it .
the fishare growing good . everything is cool.
I cant say anything bad about it .
Will it last 4-5-6 years I cant say
what I can say is its been great for the past 3 years
