What is pond netting for and what is it made of?
Pond netting is a protective barrier designed to safeguard ponds from debris, leaves, and especially from unwanted wildlife, which may damage the pond habitat or feed on the inhabitants. It is typically made from durable materials such as polyethylene or nylon, which ensure longevity and resistance to any environmental factors.
How to cover a pond with netting
Covering a pond with netting is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few steps. First, measure the dimensions of your pond to determine the size of the netting required. Ensure the netting is slightly larger than the pond, to allow for proper coverage and securing. Next, lay the netting over the pond, making sure it is evenly distributed and covers the entire surface. Finally, secure the netting using anchors or weights around the perimeter to prevent it from shifting or blowing away. These can be heavy stones, bricks, or specially designed pond anchors-place them at regular intervals to distribute the weight evenly. This will help keep debris out, and protect the pond's ecosystem.
Can herons get through pond netting?
Herons are known for their long legs and beaks, which allow them to wade into shallow water and catch fish. However, pond netting can be an effective deterrent if it is set up correctly. The key is to use a netting with a small enough mesh size to prevent the heron's beak from reaching through; a mesh size of 12mm or smaller is generally recommended for keeping herons out. Additionally, ensuring the netting is securely anchored and covers the entire surface of the pond will help prevent herons from accessing the water. Make sure to inspect it regularly for signs of wear and damage, as well.
