Childproofing garden ponds.
"H" wrote in message ... I've seen a product that you can buy to do this. It comes as smallish plastic grids which are fixed just below the water level. Plants can still grow thru it, it's quite difficult to see, and can easily take the weight of a full grown adult. Not sure what it was called tho. It was on one of those garden makeover programs in the last month or so. I saw it too and it looks excellent if it can be installed into a new pond. However, I was concerned that the weight of a foot standing on it would not be sufficiently dissipated to stop piercing a liner. I think (unfortunately) the only solution to the "young children plus ponds" dilemma is a metal grill over the top or VERY high walls around the sides. :-) Which gets me thinking more seriously, what are the chances of fencing off the area with the pond/s in and fitting a self-closing childproof lock to the one and only gate entrance? -- Brian "posting from Sutton, Winner of the English and Welsh Village of the Year award" |
