Thanks for your reply. Seems like slate would be kind of heavy, wouldn't
it? I aint no spring chicken.

Can someone give me advice on how to hide the skimmer? It is at the
corner
of my new pond that will eventually have plantings around it.

I thought I could probably hide it with plants but then there is the
problem
of getting to it to clean the filter. There is probably a plant that
would
cover it and is easily pushed aside to remove the cover and get into the
skimmer but I can't think of anything.

Can someone help please?

Many ponders use synthetic stone, or real stone to cover the skimmer. A
nice
piece of slate, would like nice, and could have planting around it to make
it blend in further.
