I intend building a pergola type structure over my pond. I want to
use a covering for the top to create some shade. As the top will be
level, I can't use a waterproof material. I'd 'like' to use
something more natural. Reed matting perhaps? I wondered if the
gardening community might advise?
Thanks

Coir? Willow?

Argos now sell both reed and willow 'screening'. What life expectancy could
I expect from each? Thanks
