thanks for your comments, i put split bamboo (which comes on a roll) over the top, it does not block out the sun completely but most of it, i had problems with blanketweed as my pond is in full sun from around 11am, it stopped that problem almost immediately, and to my surprise seems to give my fish a better colour appearance, i've got two filter systems, on one is a titan pump then it goes through a saturn booster pre-filter which then goes through a vorton 14000 uv, then into a trinamic12500, which empties into a small veggie filter i made out of an old box filter then it goes into the pond, on the other filters, i've used a titan pump it also goes through a vorton 14000 then splits and goes through two eco-max filters with built in uv's these also go into the veggie filter then into the pond, all my pond equipment is hozelock, the water is gin clear, as with most of us who care for our fishy friends i check everything constantly and pretty much know every scale on my fish.

That is very pretty.....you really did a beautiful job on the pergola. I know your fish love you for it too.

to answer road runners point, it sort of evolved like this, i'm really pleased with it, and the light effect on the reeds makes them look striped, we thought it may block out some light from our bungalow, but it's not really made much difference
