Question:
Has anyone ever come across such a net or mesh
on the market?
Answer:
If you have a child-proof fence that should be all you need. A mesh cover
just under the water would prevent you from keeping fish. It would soon be
covered with algae unless you use swimming pool bleach type products in the
water. That would kill any frogs or newts that enter the pond. What about
birds that came for a drink? If you don't use these bleach products your
pond will look 2" deep (or however deep the mesh is) in no time. Anything thats going to be in contact with the water will eventually
and probably in short order get covered in slime or algae.......Even
an open mesh will soon get covered, and be readily seen....... There are many motorized pool covers that offer safety and keep the
heat in the pool and cut evaporation drastically. This will offer the
safety of a cover with less work than a cover that requires anchors to
hold it down. After the first time you try to put the cover on, you
will probably leave it off because it is a real pain in the neck
