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.) If for predator control, look in the garden section, it is used to keep birds off off fruit trees. ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |

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. Nedra "Gareee©" wrote in message ...

Regualr poulty netting I have works fine for odds and ends I cover,
mainly chicken yard and runs, but my pond is too largwe to cover economically. LAst week when we had remnants of Hur. Frances blow through, it was raining pine straw and lots of other stuff, so I used some green nylon netting which was abut like window screen mesh size, that the wife gets at work for free and drags home, and made a cover out of it. I thought it would be sufficient, but those long leaf pine needles wind up going though the screen, and since they are in clumps of three needles to a clump it looks like a pin cushion on the bottom side whenm they meet the juncture of the three needles that stops them. -- Visit my website: http://www.frugalmachinist.com Regards Roy aka chipmaker Contents have been checked for spelling. I just decided not to make any needed corrections! |

I'll look at it, and see if it looks fine enough to trap our fall "color" -- Gareee© (Gareee "at" Charter "dot" net) Homepage: http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine.../mainframe.htm Custom Figures, Wallpapers and more! |
