Used billboard vinyls work GREAT as a liner and are super duper thick! Way cheaper than pond liner too!

I dug mine 3.5-4 feet deep and fish stay cool when they have too plus they survive just fine in our zone 5b winter.

Every DIY I see on youtube (as well as a couple of commercial installers) use EPDM Rubber Liner. I live in the Philippines and while I'm fairly sure EPDM is sold in the capital, its not available on the island I live on. Is billboard vinyl the perfect substitute? Does it stretch? How long do you think is its lifespan?

If the pond would also be used for water food, the billboard vinyl wouldn’t be good because of the dyes?
