Highly protective near invisible net with small holes I doubt even a bee could get through the net. Material didn’t snap whilst I was tying it to the side supports. I’ve kept the residual netting as spare but I doubt I’ll need it as the material is super strong.
I saw a heron at the pond this morning and so I have now installed this net. Very easy to unpack and install. Very fine black mess such that it is hardly visible. Generous supply of pegs. All seems excellent at this stage. Have to see how well it lasts.
The net is way bigger than the box states, should be 4.5m x 4.5m but is about 7m x 6m, no complaints from me, so no worries that the net is big enough. Next day delivery with prime, so perfect.
Easy to fit although I didn’t use pegs all the way round as I need access to be able to clean the pump in the pond. In the access areas I hook the net over the head of 6 inch nail.
From a distance it’s almost invisible so does the job required
I only have a small, wildlife pond & I want to keep it clear from debris because I’ve just cleaned it. The net is amazing. Very good quality. I purchased more than I needed so have plenty left over for future replacement.
Would definitely recommend this because it was very easy to cut to size (on my own) as well as good quality. The holes are quite small too.
Used to keep the dog out of the water stream and pond. Over time though (5 months) it’s become too stretchy so our dog now walk over it and it dips in.
This was better quality than I expected. Having used plastic mesh netting in previous years I was pleasantly surprised upon opening the box. Nice stretchy fabric material which is so easy to work with. Laid it over some bamboo canes across pond to keep autumn leaves out. Currently works well. I already know it’ll be a lot easier to store it next spring too as it’ll just roll up and fit back in the box. Hopefully will last me a few years.
Straight out of the box it was obvious that this was a good quality fabric – not one of those plasticky items that falls apart as soon as you look at it.
It was almost as if the wrong net had been put in the box – it was far longer than the description – a welcome change!
If I had a quibble it would be with the quality of the pegs – two broke – but we happen to have many surplus tent pegs so it was no problem. But it is wise to be careful when hammering them into the ground if you aren’t so fortunate.
A bit dubious about using a net but after a visit by Harry the Heron which nearly cleaned me out I felt I had no choice. Really pleased that I bought this net. It stretched over the pond side rocks with no damage and yet could be trimmed with scissors if necessary. Barely visible accept when close up. I wish I’d bought this product years ago and can highly recommend. Could possibly do with a few more pegs included but they are easy enough to get so not really a problems.
Fitted this net today in an attempt to save my last two fish. The only survivors of a visit by what was likely an otter. It ate the other five including a 7-8inch koi, Gutted!!!… They were all about 15 months old and doing really well, extremely healthy. Being a newbie to keeping pondfish, I had done tons of research and trial and error and got the water crystal clear with all tests proving perfect conditions only to be visited by a predator in the early hours… I’ve given this net 5 stars because I believe it is very good quality, I bought the smallest size available for just shy of twenty quid and with my pond only being a little 500 litre. I have loads and loads left over. It came with 15 pegs of a reasonable quality and design but I’ve also used a load of tent pegs, the deep threaded type. So it’s secured every 4-5 inches and covered with stones. If the b****** gets in it will probably be something I’ve missed or done incorrectly. Good product but I’ve put it accross the top of the pond nice and taut as instructed but it seriously obscures visability into the water making me think it’s not really worth it. Might go back to the drawing board and make a frame like others have.
