Cover

How can I build a dome shaped cover with netting over my 12x14 pond

 

[Tula]

We built a dome shaped structure to hold our net over our pond. We used a simple lean to structure with long boards to cover it with a pool solar cover in the winter.

For the dome shaped structure we used long pieces of electrical conduit we put together and then secured them in the ground by slipping the conduit over rebar pieces we'd hammered into the ground.

Hope this helps.

a cable spanning across the pond at the height you find the least obtrusive

Is this intended as a permanent structure? Or just when leaves are falling?

If temporary, you can do what usually do for the Fall to prevent leaves from inundating my pond.
I use 3/4" pvc pipes and create bows across the width of the pond. I have one long piece down the middle lengthwise for the bows to attach to for rigidity. They are are connected where they intersect with PVC tee fittings.

I hammer fiberglass driveway marker sticks into the ground and slip the ends of the PVC over that so I can get a good bow shape.

I don't glue everything together, I use zippie (short self tapping) screws so I can dismantle it in the Spring.
I number each connection so I know how to put it back together next year.
The nylon net goes over that.
Hope this makes sense.

I’m old school, so my goldfish don’t get fed until the water temp is above 60 F.
