legend21 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hello All, I am getting my WIR built next week and read on here about pond liner as a ground sheet for the run. Does it sound feasible to put the liner on the ground running about 6 inches high at the sides to stop rain pouring in. (I intend to order the tarpflex Andrew bought) I then thought I could cut a rectangle piece out in the middle of the run so that the girls have access to earth, but cover the whole thing with auboise. Does this sound practical, hubby prefers the idea of going and buying pond liner to slabs, as the run will be 18ft by 6ft, he feels we would need to buy a lot of slabs. you advice would be greatly appreciated Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Would you need to bury it quite deep? Not quite got my head round it I'm afraid Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'd think if you left a bit in the middle the water would come up and get it all muddy - I'm sure someone had a similar problem with slabs and so had to fill it all in, in the end .

Redwing Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I think if you are going to use it to make the whole run pond liner lined as if you cut a hole the benefits would be reduced as Lewis says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend21 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thank you all, OH will be very disappointed, at present the Cube extensions are covered with Ikea shower curtains and the extensions are on earth covered with aubiose and we have not had a problem. However I will take your advice or there was no point in asking J Patricia, the pond liner just sits on top of the earth with the horse bedding on top and if the run is covered at the sides then it would stop the ground being muddy but will probably go for slabs J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Slabs (or concrete) is probably the best bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
