Hi Joe-

A common issue I have found is buying a bulkhead that can span the wall thickness. The ponds I have built in the past have always been framed with 1 1/2 inch thick wood. So, the bulkhead has to have a neck approx. 2 inches long.

There can also be some discussion on the use of gaskets. If you are using a liner, example EDPM- do you need a gasket? Does the liner serve as the gasket? There is a lubricant that works good to keep the liner from twisting when the bulkhead is tightened. I don't have the name of it on me.
