You have the right idea. That’s the only way netting will work. Yes is not pretty to look at but so worth it. I actually fabricated 1/4 dia steel rods into nice hoops. With it being a high dome the net forms to it and really doesn’t look all that bad.
Thanks netting didnt work for me either all my goldfish had gone in a week and i noticed the netting was full of holes where the Heron hsd pecked through it ,ill try your metod looks promising 👍
I have 1 on a tall tree every day the past 2 weeks I am very worried it will get my koi I have neting on my pond and a fake herion I have a habit keep looking the tree now
The thumbnail is photoshopped. The Heron can't really stand in the middle of the water like that. It is only 2.5' deep so I don't disagree. I want to redo it and go deeper.
