Childproofing garden ponds.
In article , Peter Hughes
writes Hi everybody - my first post here. With a 5 month old baby and 2 currently unprotected ponds, one of my jobs for the summer is fairly obvious! Question is, 'how'? My options seem to be: 1. Fill them in, but it would be a shame to lose the associated wildlife. (Even greater shame to lose a toddler though). 2. Fence them in - difficult to do without it becoming unsightly, and in the years to come climbing it would be a challange in itself! 3. Put grid over them, though unfortunately they're rather awkward shapes. Anybody care to share experiences or ideas, or is this covered by an appropriate FAQ? More children drown in the bath than in garden ponds and most children who drown in ponds are between 1 and 2 yrs old who shouldn't be out unsupervised anyway, supervise then educate, don't childproof the world -- David |
