Putting this boiler jacket around my barrel pond, would it need putting in a plastic sheet to keep it waterproof? Trying to stop pond freezing

Why do you want to prevent freezing?
Water freezes surface down , float some polystyrene on top .
 
The mangers jackets are usually yellow fibreglass with a polythene cover. Not very durable and not treated for water repellence so will get wet outdoors.

Insulation slows heat loss, but does not prevent it.

You may need a heater with a frost stat, under your barrel.

What is in it?
