HOZELOCK - Pond Protection Net 3 x 4 m : Ideal for Protecting the Pond from Leaves, Large Debris and Predators: Supplied With 4 Stakes [1731 0000], Black

Very robust material, and easy to stretch in different directions…..

Well made woven net. If being cut to size tends to unravel as it is woven. Good stretch to the net and seems quite sturdy!

Good quality netting which covers our pond and keeps leaves and herons away. The pegs are next to useless but we expected that and have built a frame for it anyway. Much easier to keep clean and remove to perform pond maintenance too. Don't try and stretch the net though because it will distort quite badly, and this lack of stretch means you have to get the tension just so or the net either deforms or sags. So one star gone. Catches all but the smallest leaves but still allows fish food and light for the floating plants through.

I have a long T-shaped water feature and during the autumn months I get leaves from several trees falling into the water. It’s a constant battle to scoop the leaves out of the water to avoid the pump getting clogged up with leaves. I couldn’t find a net to fit so I ordered this size and a smaller 3m x 4m to overlap. I had read other reviews that there are not enough pegs and as my water feature is 11m long I ordered a set of metal tent pegs. Two people were needed for this task and I was very glad I had the extra tent pegs and used all 20 (I could have used more and ordered one more set for next year). I also used several bricks around to weigh down the net. It’s been several months now and it has saved me a lot of work! I was able to scoop the leaves off the top of the net with a leaf net which was much easier as the water feature contains rocks and leaves tend to get stuck in and around them. The pump has not been clogged with leaves and kept working. The quality of the net is good and still intact. I will take the net off when spring approaches and will probably place it back down in September this year (left it a bit late last year at the end of October). I really highly recommend anyone who has lots of leaves falling into their water feature to try this!

The net is a good size but the plastic pegs snapped when being pushed by hand into soil.

sturdy netting

Replacement for existing net from the same supplier. Only replaced as old net damaged by reeds growing through it. Good quality at a reasonable price. Good protection against birds trying to get to the fish and looks tidy when in place.

I have an 8' x 6' pond with stone and slab edging, so I needed the additional size of the 4 x 3 metre to cover everything effectively. I used 4 - 3" x 2" battens with the net lightly tacked to the tops and rested them on the edges - spacing them equally over the pond widthThe additional netting at all sides, I weighed down with stones and it all works like a dream! The netting is a lot stronger than I thought it would be and even through a couple of gales, it is holding up really well, catching everythingI can reach under the edges with no problem to clear out the last of the water lily leaves and it's made the maintenace a lot easier for the winter - yet to come! An excellent product all round

When I opened the package I thought what a cheap piece of garbage. It came with pegs to put in and stretch over the pond. Well, the pegs are very soft plastic and bend easily. You cannot get them into the ground. Plus, when it rains heavy, the pegs simply pull out.I didn't want to start over with this project, so I came up with a simple way to spread the net over the pond. I took 3 2x4"s 8 feet long. I used cap nails, the kind you use to put on roofing felt, and nailed the fabric on the two ends. I then laid the 2x4's on each side of the pond. I rolled the 2x4's once so that the netting was nicely pulling on the board, not the nails. Once I got the 2 ends installed, I took the third 2x4 and slipped it under the center of the net to support it. So far it is working great. It has not torn and had captured all the leaves so far. You do need to dump the leaves off occasionally otherwise it will slump into the water. Easy to do, just take out the centerboard, then take one of the end boards and lift it over the pond and dump the leaves. Cheap, may only last a year, but for the price I am satisfied.

Se ve resistente, con el tiempo ya veremos, por ahora 5 estrellas.

Nachdem mir, wie die Aufnahmen der Wildtierkamera eindeutig beweisen, Nachbars Katze zum zweiten Mal fast alle Fische aus dem Teich fischte, habe ich mir das Netz als Schutz zugelegt. Optisch verschönert es nicht unbedingt den Teich, aber seit dem das Netz ihn sichert, haben meine Fische wieder die Freude am Leben zurückgewonnen, da ihnen nun nicht mehr das Schicksal droht, als Katzenfutter zu enden. Nachdem ich vorher Ultraschallgeräte und wasserspeiende Katzenschrecks mit mehr oder weniger großen Erfolg einsetzte, ist das Netz doch der effektivste Schutz.
