My folks have one with a liner. You just need to be careful in the winter when you break the ice.

It's lasted at least 15 years

Hi Moli, We have always used a Butal(sp) lining for ponds, 'cos that way you can have it exactly the shape/depth you want. A good quality liner should come with up to a 20 yr guarentee.

What kind of pond are you having - Fish, wildlife, ornamental Koi ?

Go for the liner. The hard ones can crack, not always but it can happen.
