FAQs

What is the netting made of?

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

Can I cut the netting to fit my pond?

Yes, the netting is designed to be cut to any shape or size without fraying.

Will this netting support the weight of a child or pet?

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.

How do I secure the netting?

You can lay it directly over the pond and secure the edges with pegs around the perimeter. Additional weights can also be used.

Is this netting suitable for use in winter?

Yes, it is suitable for year-round use, including in autumn and winter to guard against falling leaves and debris.

Can this netting be used for anything other than ponds?

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

How do I clean the netting?

You can clean the netting by gently shaking off debris or rinsing it with water. Allow it to dry before storing.

Troubleshooting

Netting is not staying in place

Ensure the edges are properly secured with pegs around the entire perimeter. Add more pegs if necessary, especially on windy days. Consider using small weights along the edges in addition to pegs.

Fish or pond life seem trapped

Ensure the netting is not sagging into the water where it could entangle creatures. Adjust tension and consider using stakes to create a slight dome shape if needed. Avoid using mesh with openings smaller than your fish.

Debris is still entering the pond

Check if the netting is fully covering the pond surface and if there are any gaps or holes. Ensure the mesh size is appropriate for the type of debris you are trying to block.

Pros and Cons

  • Provides essential protection for fish against common predators.
  • Durable, rot-proof construction ensures long-term outdoor use.
  • Versatile application for ponds, garden beds, and vegetable patches.
  • Simple to install and customize to fit various shapes and sizes.

Cons

  • Not suitable as a safety barrier for children or pets.
  • May require periodic re-tensioning if secured with pegs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the netting and carefully lay it over the pond or garden area. Ensure it covers the entire surface. Secure the edges using pegs (not included) by pushing them into the ground around the perimeter. For custom fits, use scissors to cut the mesh to the desired shape and size; the material will not fray.

Compatibility: This netting is compatible with most standard ponds, water features, and garden beds. It can be adapted to various shapes and sizes due to its flexible nature.

Care: Clean the netting by gently shaking off debris or rinsing with water. Store in a dry place when not in use to prolong its lifespan. The UV-stabilised material is designed for outdoor exposure, but regular inspection for any damage is recommended.
