Pond Fleece 500 g/m² VidaXL roll 1 x 50 m – Pond liner filter layer

VidaXL Pond Fleece 500 g/m² in a 1 x 50 m roll is a non-woven geotextile layer designed to be placed under pond liners, artificial lakes and decorative stones. With a mass per unit area of 500 g/m², the fleece provides mechanical protection for liners, enhances drainage performance and supports basic filtration of fine particles. The product is supplied as a continuous roll measuring 1 m wide and 50 m long, suitable for covering linear and irregular pond bases and surrounding areas where liner protection and separation from underlying substrates are required.

Advantages

The VidaXL pond fleece offers puncture resistance and even load distribution to reduce the risk of liner damage from sharp objects or uneven ground. Its non-woven structure allows water to pass while retaining larger debris, which helps to maintain the liner and extend its service life. The roll format simplifies installation over larger surfaces and reduces the number of seams compared with smaller panels.

Suitable for

• Protection of pond liners under water-retention membranes
• Separation layer between soil/substrate and decorative stones
• Drainage improvement under garden water features
• Temporary or permanent landscaping projects requiring liner protection

When it may not be suitable

This fleece is intended as a protective and drainage layer, not as a structural geomembrane. It does not replace specialist heavy-duty underlay systems required for high mechanical loads or vehicular traffic. The product will not provide complete filtration of very fine suspended solids in pond water and should not be relied on as the only component of a technical filtration system.

Key specifications

• Material: non-woven geotextile (synthetic fibres)
• Mass per unit area: 500 g/m²
• Dimensions: 1 m width × 50 m length (roll)
• Colour: commonly grey/black (may vary by batch)
• Function: liner protection, drainage support, filtration support

How to use

Unroll the fleece across the prepared pond base ensuring the surface is level and free of large stones or roots that could puncture the liner. Overlap adjacent strips by at least 10–20 cm to maintain continuous coverage; trim to fit irregular shapes with a utility knife or scissors. Place the pond liner directly on top of the fleece, then add decorative stones or ballast as required. For sloped banks, secure the fleece temporarily with pegs before installing the liner to prevent movement during work.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the roll width and length against your pond dimensions to calculate required coverage and overlaps
• Check ground preparation requirements: remove sharp objects and level the base prior to installation
• Decide whether additional protection (e.g., thicker underlay or protective boards) is needed for heavy loads or coarse substrates

Usage recommendations

Use the fleece as an intermediate protective layer under the pond liner and behind decorative stonework. For best results, combine the fleece with appropriate liner materials and a mechanical filtration system if water clarity is a priority. Store rolls dry and protected from prolonged UV exposure prior to installation.
