I was referring to the netting to make sides of an encloosure, not
keep birds etc out of the pond. I don;t have a bird predator problem
or much of anythng else that my dogs do not take care of or the fake
gators in the pond scare away.

I ordered some diamond mesh netting today from Memphis Net & Twine.
American made, UV resistant, and heavy duty, with 1/2" mesh size..
Looked at over 2 dozen sites with this stuff and Memphis Net was
cheapest by far. Today I finished up making my framework and digging
it in the pond bottom, now all I need is the netting (hopefully
Friday) and I can finish it. Overall size is 16 x 24 feet x 5 feet
with approx 10" out of the water (at high water level) to aid in
keeping the fish in / out when they jump. Main frame is 1 1/2" sch 40
PVC with ther support posts 1 1/4" Sch 40 PVC.
