Fish Guards for Ponds
Heron Guards
Fish guards for ponds are essential tools for safeguarding your pond inhabitants from predators like herons, cats, and other unwanted visitors. They come in various forms to suit different pond sizes and preferences. Heron Solutions has the most effective heron guard though, which is adaptable to all pond sizes and shapes.
Why Not Just Use a Net?
Heron nets can be effective at deterring herons, but they don’t always look the best in our gardens and can’t cooperate with pond plants and good wildlife. Our fish guards for ponds are floating heron deterrents, which allow you to still enjoy watching your fish and work well with pond plants. The heron deterrent panels are set up around the perimeter of the pond to create a barrier around the edges, that stop the herons from stepping into your pond. With the pond grids in place, your fish cannot be reached on the edges of the pond and pulled out.
Nets can also restrict wildlife that is good for your pond from reaching it. Frogs, for example, love living amongst your fish and the pond plants, but netting can prevent them from reaching the water or even getting out of the pond for more food sources.
Will it Fit My Pond?
Our fish guards for ponds are flexible for all pond types, making them great heron pond protection. If you have a large garden pond, you can double up the panels so they go further into the pond’s centre. They simply tie together with little clips and can be removed easily for maintenance.
Protect Your Pond From Herons
Herons are the most common threat to pond fish, often targeting shallow areas where prey is easily accessible. Physical barriers offer a more reliable defence. Additionally, the depth of your pond can act as a natural deterrent. Herons typically prefer shallow waters for hunting, so deeper areas can make your pond less attractive. Incorporating aquatic plants or structures can also provide fish with hiding places, reducing their vulnerability.
While herons pose the most significant threat, other predators like cats and raccoons can also be a problem. Implementing comprehensive pond protection measures can help safeguard your fish from a range of unwanted visitors.
Cost-Effective Fish Guards for Ponds
Not only are our heron deterrent panels durable and long-lasting, but they’re also cost-effective as they require little to no maintenance, unlike netting and other pond technology. Our fish guard for ponds can be removed whenever needed to clean your pond and easily reinstalled. They work well to collect leaves and twigs that may float into your pond water and you can feed your fish through the gaps, which is a necessary requirement when considering heron pond protection.
