Request: A piece of pond liner (Abraham Heights LA1) Received My daughter has a large planter built in her garden which needs lining to stop the cladding coming off. I've given her some butyl liner I had but it's just a bit short so if anyone has a decent strip or sheet they don't need, we'd be very grateful. A couple of feet wide and 5 or 6 feet long would be great - many thanks in advance :-)
