Hi, Greeting from UK. I am seeking advice on how to cover a pond which has tall plants as I do not want to squash the plants. Thanks. Kimmy

Welcome, though I can't help you.....

Can you be more specific when you say, "cover?" Are you talking about something to keep predators away; something to protect children; or something to keep leaves & debris out?

What size is your pond?

Did you want a net or a wood covering or ? I have a net over mine on tall posts: https://www.gardenpondforum.com/threads/heron-netting-101.13205/

welcome and easiest way to shade a pond is a shade sail

Like they said more detail is needed. Water hyacinths and lillies are great for shade. Netting is great to keep out leaves.

Welcome! Is this an interview question to be hired at Google? Here is my best shot....Maybe put the taller plants together in one section and make a cut in the covering so you can wrap a flap around the tall plants and still cover the rest. Somehow I think I didn't get the job!
