Hin Dicemanc, on the 24 th when you put this up I emailed and phoned several times the company in question, and Im still waiting, I think your better off with a new supplier, what a way to run a business, good luck.
Any sort of rock will break down eventually, that's how we get sandy/boulder beaches and soil. Unless you have a mighty stream running into your pond and carrying rocks with it, ordinary rainfall is unlikely to make much difference in under 100s or 1000s of years. Yes the science is correct but edging garden ponds???? would have to be pretty rubbish rock in the first place
Dicemanc, Dont forget to ask your local builders merchants,they would be much cheaper than a G/C Im not sure how big there stones go to but i know they do a decent range of large pebbles etc,
Good comment Alan. Most builders merchants stock some decent size rocks/stones - about the size of mine in that pic. They're approx the size of a couple of bricks .
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
That was someone's else's Alan. LF just posted the pic as he wants to do a similar thing when he builds his.
A slope of gravel with varying sizes of rock and stone is the usual for a wildlife pond but the paddlestone idea is nice if you have room to do it thoroughly - as per the pic.

Thanks for that Steephill - perhaps they weren't making it up just to annoy me
The paddlestones look great - but unfortunately the design of the pond requires the stones to be a bit squarer in shape.
I've found some slate which would look really good - I'm just a bit worried that there are some sharp-ish edges which could puncture the epdm lining.
I'll have another look around this weekend...
Thanks for the advice everyone... it's much appreciated.
