just thinking out loud, I think most would love to have their pond spray with polyurea but how many actually can afford the high cost or willing to dish out that amount of money. the overall cost is too high that it exclude a big group of pond owners. just curious if there is a stat showing what percentage of new ponds build with polyurea liner.

Fiberglass has very little flexibility and can flake or crack over the long haul. Polyurea done correctly will literally last a lifetime with an elasticity of 400% to 700%.
