I note that there are different types of materials for pond liners. Regular EPDM rubber is available readily here, it it OK for grow bed liners?

Any need to line the tank (with something soft like people do for pond installs) or just fold corners and staple the top with a rail to hold it down?

Some people do put down carpeting or the like under, if it was just flat wood I would think this wouldn't be necessary. HTH!

Wow as I look at the stuff, Durascrim seems cheaper and lighter... is the trade-off durability? Building these GBs is looking mighty expensive as I start totting everything up.
