Pond Grids
Pond Grids For Heron Protection
At Heron Solutions, we’ve designed heron guards for your ponds that last for years so you can have peace of mind that your koi carp are safe and out of harm's way. Our pond grids are unlike any other with a kidney bean shape that is reversible, meaning they’re versatile to all pond types and shapes. Our floating panels are ideal for discrete but effective heron protection, which also offers other advantages to your garden and delivers reliable results.
The Benefits of Our Pond Grids
Looking for a way to protect your precious fish pond without harming the natural ecosystem? Our innovative floating pond grids offer a wildlife-friendly solution. Unlike nets that snag and need constant replacement, these guards are made from robust plastic, ensuring a long lifespan. They effectively deter predators like herons, cats, and other birds, while still allowing frogs and toads to access the water. An added bonus is the collection of fallen leaves on the guard's surface, keeping your pond clean and your fish visible throughout autumn. Feeding your fish remains hassle-free, and the guards even prevent curious Koi Carp from leaping out. Plus, they seamlessly integrate with other pond features and plants, maintaining the aesthetic beauty of your garden. You can also enjoy the peace of mind, knowing your fish are safe from harm.
How Do The Pond Grids Work?
Our floating heron pond grids are designed to fit any pond like a glove! They come in modular sections that easily adjust to the size and shape of your pond, so no matter how curvy your edges are you won't need to cut a thing. The sections connect securely with anchor points, and for ponds with liners, you can add optional cable ties for extra stability. And when it's time to clean your pond or rearrange your plants, the guards are just as easy to remove and put back in place.
These clever panels disrupt the water's surface, mimicking an unstable environment that herons dislike for landing. This creates a protective barrier around your pond, deterring herons from snatching your fish. The panels' underwater placement keeps your pond looking its best, while strategically placing them around the perimeter and even within the pond strengthens this defence. Since herons prefer stable footing, they'll be discouraged from attempting to take your fish.
Why Choose Pond Grids Over Other Heron Deterrents?
- Physical Barrier: Grids create a physical barrier that herons simply cannot penetrate to reach your fish. This offers a more reliable deterrent compared to visual or scare tactics that may lose effectiveness over time.
- Less Obtrusive: Compared to nets, grids can be a more visually appealing solution. They often lay flat on the water's surface, minimizing obstruction of your pond's view.
- Frog and Toad Access: Unlike nets that can trap smaller wildlife, grids with appropriate spacing allow frogs and toads to pass through, maintaining the pond's ecosystem.
- Long Lifespan: Made with robust materials like plastic, grids typically require less frequent replacement compared to nets that can degrade over time.
- Easy Cleaning: Grids can often be easily removed for cleaning the pond or accessing plants.
- Koi Carp Prevention: Grids can prevent curious Koi Carp from jumping out of the pond.
