Default Shelter for Koi?

hi, anybody know a good way to make a hiding area for some Koi? Would a
plastic crate be ok? We have a racoon here so I'm just worried about
them being eaten.


Get 1 or 2 clay flue pipes. The fish will love swimming in
and out and it will give them a place to hide. I took a
file to the sharp edges so that the fish wouldn't get cut on
a sharp edge. The plastic crates are fine for a short
period of time, koi grow quickly and you don't want your
fish to get stuck in the crates (they have been known to do
this).
