It comes as smallish plastic grids which are fixed just below the water level. Remember that a baby or toddler can drown in half an inch of water. The grid may stop the child getting a full dunking(*) but if the child feel onto the grid face down, maybe knocking itself out... This is pretty rigid grid if it'll take the weight of an adult. (*) A full dunking would probably imprint quite strongly and make a child pretty wary of water in the future, a good thing IMHO. Personaly I'd go for isolating the ponds doesn't need to be Fort Knox, dark green plastic mesh 18" high on stout stakes should do. But don't forget a good, firm, education about the dangers of water and not pushing the fenches over... And of course a young toddler should never be left alone in a garden anyway. -- Cheers Dave.
