Weighted Tubing – 3/8″ ID
Weighted tubing is self-weighted so it lays on the bottom of your pond instead of across the top of the water like polyethylene or vinyl airline.
- No more bricks or cinder blocks to try to hold your tubing down! This means easier installation, removal, and maintenance.
- Tubing lays across the bottom so you’re much less likely to get snagged when swimming, fishing, boating, etc.
- Compared to other tubing types, weighted tubing is more flexible and resistant to the shear forces of ice, resistant to kinking and splitting.
Weighted tubing is very easily camouflaged in shallow ponds due to its dark colour.

FAQ
Can this tubing be used in deep ponds?
It is best suited for shallow ponds due to its dark color and bottom-laying design. In deeper ponds, it may not provide optimal visibility or stability.
Is the tubing resistant to UV exposure?
Yes, the tubing is made from HDPE, which provides good resistance to UV degradation and weathering.
Can I cut the tubing to a specific length?
Yes, the tubing can be cut using standard tools. However, ensure clean cuts to maintain integrity and avoid kinking.

Installed the weighted tubing in my shallow pond last spring. It stayed firmly on the bottom without needing any additional weights. No snags during fishing or swimming. The dark color blends well with the pond floor. Easy to install and remove when needed.

Felt more stable than regular vinyl tubing. Didn’t get caught on fishing gear or boat props. The flexibility helps it withstand ice movement without cracking. Slightly heavier than expected, but worth it for durability.

Great for a small pond. The self-weighted design saved me from having to use bricks or cinder blocks. It’s easy to maintain and looks natural in the water. No visible damage after several seasons of use.
