Good products. Good company.

I had previously looked at the website and decided what I thought I needed. I phoned up to confirm and discuss my needs. I placed my order over the phone. I had no idea what the delivery times were so I had ordered weeks before I was ready to install the the liner. I was quoted as up to five days for delivery. This was not a problem. As it happened my order, safely packaged, arrived two days later.
The underlay is very good quality. So much so that it was difficult to cut with scissors. That was reassuring. The Firestone liner was heavy but appeared to be very strong. It is not the easiest thing to manoeuvre into a hole and arrange but it that is because it is thick and strong.
Time will tell how strong my construction will be but I am confident that I could not have bought better products. This was a good company to do business with.

Great Company for anything "pond"

Always reliable for quality of products, great selection of pond products that we simply can't buy locally. Good delivery, well packaged, well labelled so that you can unpack and place immediately where you want them. I don't actually buy anything for the pond or pond related from anywhere else now.

Good product but did not receive notification to confirm delivery.
No instructions to make the top surround either.

Parcel arrived ok, no damage

Parcel arrived, no damage, all ok. However it took too long to arrive by Parcel Force (might have been on strike). Ordered on 25/8/23 arrived on 4/9/23. Other that this, no problems, thank you
