I have had a small, 9 x 12 or so goldfish/koi pond in my backyard for well over twenty years. I have a large honey locust tree behind my house as well as in front and my neighbors’ yards are loaded with maples. I need good coverage for my pond once fall sets in and this one is amazing. First of all, it was half the price of anything else I could find on pond websites and it is easier to use and not requiring several postgraduate degrees. The mess is closer than my preceding netting and since it is pu t together like a tent with shock cord poles, it is easy to use. This is the first time I will not have to deal with the extremely tiny locust leaves which are insidious and have caused me great concern over the years.
My only issue, and it is a tiny one, is that the netting by two of the shock cord poles, does not have loops for the guy wires. This mesh tent has a nice flap along the base that I have put bricks and weights on. I also, and this is my own fault, ought to have purchased one size larger to accomodate for my waterfall base. Nonetheless, this works very well.
I am a very happy camper.
