Coating of fish ponds

Ever since koi fish ponds became popular, enquiries with regard to coating and waterproofing fish ponds have been on the increase. Paint manufacturers are often reluctant to give advice or recommend products to use in these applications - and for good reason. Manufacturers have little control over preparation and application on site and the prospect of a client's prize fish turning belly-up makes the potential risks outweigh the reward in profit several times over. There are products that are very successfully used in this application - provided that the contractor adheres rigourously to the specification provided. Chlorinated Rubber Enamels, Moisture Cured Polyurethanes and Twin Pack Polyurethanes are most often used - specifications and advice can be obtained on request.
