Default Wife worried about depth of pond and little grandkids and neighbor kids falling in

I don't think your missing much John imo... it's an extremely expensive
black plastic grate system from the UK. 300 pounds to do a tiny little pond!

There is another company that sells things. they are over the top of the pond so that a child cannot go into the water at all.my neighbour had one.they are called pond guard or pond guarder I think.you should be able to find them on the net in one of the

search engines.

I could not get that link to work. I also went to
www.entdirect.plus.com (slowest download I have ever seen) but could
not find any pond information.

I would like to weld a rebar
grid (4-6 inch spacing) together and
place it on the plant shelf so you couldn't see it really unless you

are
right on top of it. I would make it in sections
so I could remove it for maintenence. It would satisfy my wife's

anxiety
to
know the grid was there and the water would
effectively be only 6 inches deep in case one of our grandkids or

neighbor
kids fell in. We have no fence and our yard
is open to a public greenbelt area which kids use all the time to

play.
Is
this a viable alternative? Should I paint it with
epoxy paint to keep the rusting metal from fouling the water? Would

the
rusting metal harm the fish or plants?
Sorry for the long post, but I need some help with this one. Thank

you
kindly for time and thoughts.
