Water Feature Liners for Golf Courses
Water features enhance a golf course's aesthetics, challenge golfers, and provide back-up irrigation water. As water becomes a more precious commodity, its conservation will become an increasingly important issue for golf courses. 30 mil PVC is the preferred water feature liner to stop seepage and keep silt out.
Water features should be placed in low-lying or flatter portions of the property to allow gravity-flow drainage systems and efficiently capture rainwater. Water features will also look more natural if they reside in the lower areas. PVC must be buried to prevent degradation from UV exposure. Keep the slopes under 2:1 to prevent backfill from sliding down the liner. This will also be safer for animals or people who might fall in the water.
