Its key benefit is reducing debris contamination and deterring predators, ensuring a healthier pond environment. A key caveat is that it is not a safety barrier for children or pets.

FAQs

What material is the netting made from?

The netting is made from UV-stabilised, rot-proof polyethylene mesh.

Can this netting be used as a safety barrier?

No, this netting is not intended to support the weight of children or pets and should not be used as a safety barrier. Dedicated pond guards should be used for safety purposes.

How do I secure the netting to the ground?

Can I cut the netting to fit my pond?

Yes, the netting is lightweight and flexible, allowing you to cut it to any shape or size without fraying.

Is the green colour effective for camouflage?

The green colour helps the netting blend into natural garden surroundings, making it less conspicuous on the pond surface.

What is the main benefit of using this netting?

The main benefits are maintaining cleaner pond water by preventing debris and protecting pond life from predators.

Can this netting be used on garden beds?

Yes, it can be reused in vegetable patches and flower beds to protect plants from birds and pests.

Troubleshooting

Netting sags into the water

Ensure the netting is pulled taut during installation and adequately secured with pegs around the entire perimeter. Consider using more pegs if necessary.

Debris is accumulating too quickly

Check if there are overhanging trees or bushes directly above the pond. Trim branches if possible or ensure more frequent removal of collected debris from the netting.

Netting appears to be damaging plants at the edge

Adjust the placement of the netting or secure it further away from delicate plants. Ensure pegs are inserted carefully to avoid root damage.

Predators are still accessing the pond

Ensure there are no gaps in the netting coverage, especially around the edges. Netting should be securely fastened and cover the entire water surface where fish are present.
