We have trees planted near the pond which have grown enough in the last 6
yrs to shade pretty well. We also use a couple of large patio umbrellas.
Here in central Ca. when it really gets hot (today 103 so far) we toss in
frozen bottled water (plain water stored in water bottles or milk jugs etc.)
or bags of ice. With the shade established we may not need to resort to that
this summer.

We just got done building a new pond at our new house. This is our fourth
pond that we've built and this is the first pond that has been in full
sun.

Ok, what do you sun pond people do to shade the pond in order to keep the
water temp from skyrocketing? I am open to anyone who has ideas to help
my
water temp from getting out of hand. Thanks.
