Pond Netting Advise Needed

[rdk]

J.W. You could spay paint the fence cover with a non- toxic spay paint like black to make it look nicer. No animal can get through that. RDK

That fence gate is just something I set up there and thought I would try and grow some mini-Clematis up it to completely cover the fence. It's not the cover for the tub :arrow:

Great idea for climbing plants!

Dr. Dave,

Any pictures of how you constructed your PVC with plastic mesh frames to prevent leaves fro getting into your ponds?

Many Thanks,

Here they are:

I also included my new water lettuce protector from the roots being eaten by the Koi.

Many thanks, Dr. Dave,

That is pretty much what I had in mind. I think that I can go from there. I located the materials at my Home Depot today.

Very nice and they look quite sturdy and easy to make :lol:

 

[DrDave]

Yes they are. I don't glue them either, that way, I can re-use the fittings.

What is the maximum width that anyone has found in the plastic fence/netting material at Lowes/Home Depot? I have only found it up to 40 inches. I really want the green and not the construction ORANGE!

Check the garden section, I found green fencing there, I was not using it for the pond and don't recall the width sorry.

 

[DrDave]

Home Depot has black and dark green up to 36" wide.
