Better plan on getting the window screening like Jan advises.
My pond has been
netted for 8 or 9 years and I always get lots of the smaller leaves on the
bottom
of the pond. Then have to be cleaned out in the spring... a hassle.
One year I bought tons of the black bridal veiling at Walmart and made
a huge net for the pond. It only lasted that one year.... but it did catch
everything.
In fact, now that you'all have mentioned it... I think I'll buy some this
coming week
and get the pond done right - for a change.

Kind of depends on what you're netting for. If you have lots of leaves,
and
they're of the maple tree shape, jagged tooth edges, you might want to
consider something finer, like window screen. (See my website as to how

I
use it, under my pond photos, page 1.)


I'm using it to filter leaves, and have lots of poplar here. The main
problem might be those little "helicopter" seeds.
