netting your pond

My BIL uses net across his pond, but he made a pvc pipe frame about 5 foot
by 10 foot and sewed the net to the frame. Each piece of the frame can
easily be lifted off the pond and dumped, and then reset. He put a "T" at
mid length to act as a center leg to help support the frame. When he gets a
layer of leaves, he dumps. He also uses it for the times that he is not out
at the pond to keep the herons out, and removes it to feed the fish and wade
with the fish.

I use 1/8" polyester mesh on my pond nets. I find that the hole size
in the bird nets lets too many of those little goobers that fall off
of pine trees through. The polyester holds up better than nylon also
and is not as "slimy" to work with.

I can supply netting in any length, kits or the whole screen with
frame. See www.anatekcorp.com/garden/pondscreen.htm for pictures and
details.

I just got another roll of mesh in yesterday so have ample stock now.
