Buy some plastic chicken wire,make a frame and bam you have a cover for the pond.

Works for me.

Now why didn't I think of that?

And mrsclem, thank you--that's exactly what I need. I'm going tomorrow to look for it because my problem right now won't be solved with chicken wire. Now some 4 legged varmint is digging up the catfish I buried by the pond last week. I have no idea what kind of critter did it, but that's one heavy fish to be moving.

We have way too many hunters in Arkansas .. And the predators know there limits
Cats are the only strays to make it in my yard ,, And that's only when the dog not out

We have a lot more predators here than I was used to in South Florida--it's been a real learning experience!

A friend of mine knows someone that lost all his fish to a crafty raccoon last year. He bit a hole in one of the tubes coming out from the pump, waited until almost all of the water leaked out and scooped up the fish!

I have had a lot of raccoon problems in the past. I now have a Dr.Dave's style fence over my pond. I used plastic coated 2" chain link steel fencing with .5" chicken wire on top of it. I know the raccoons still come to the pond but the fish just smile at them. RDK
