Thanks for all the suggestions, and thank you, Joe, for the picture - what a
great natural home your turtle has! I have written all your ideas down
and will be heading to Home Depot in the morning. Amazing how a simple,
quick trip to the Depot always ends up with me buying all kinds of stuff I
didn't even know I needed til I saw it! LOL Wish me luck in ONLY buying
the items on my list.

How about plastic lattice?

Hi again.
Well, as thrilled as I am that the digging is over, the liner is laid,
and
there's water in the turtle pond, I'm now seeing the things that I
didn't
think through thoroughly enough. Actually this problem isn't terrible,
but
does need a solution. I dug a donut shaped turtle pond, and the island
in
the middle is elevated above the water level by 4 or 5 inches at some
points. Rather than have the turtle digging his claws into the liner
covering the island, I want to give him some ladders around the island.
I
was thinking of using "Great Stuff" to attach some small rocks, but I
don't
know how well it would stay on the perfectly vertical liner.... might
just
slide off before it dries. Is there something else I can use to glue
some
pebbles onto it with? Or do I buy a couple of parakeet ladders and
somehow
attach them? I really don't like the idea of chicken wire.... any kind
of
metal in ponds and on liners scares me. All suggestions are
appreciated!
Sue
