The Harrod Raised Steel Pond Cover was well priced (with Bank Holiday discount!) and arrived at the earliest date possible following online order. Being 2 weeks short of an 88th birthday my biggest challenge, being on my own, was transferring the 3.5m steel side bars from front door to garden! Single handed assembly was achieved very quickly and, after some planning and forethought, net attachment was straightforward. Shaping up and tacking the net with the provided twine was done in an hour or so over a couple of days. Living 6 miles from both Wanstead Park and The Lea Valley (both of which have heronries) I have spent thousands of pounds over 40 years restocking fish and purchasing various anti heron devices. The only really successful deterrent was netting but I find traditional netting somewhat unsightly. The raised pond cover is certainly conspicuous but not in any way unsightly (see photograph) and offers minimal interference to tall plants, I can, at last, approach my pond in the knowledge that no fish have disappeared overnight!
