Questions fréquentes
Which net size should I choose?
Measure the greatest length and the greatest width of the pond, marginal plants included, then add 50 cm on each side (1 m more on each dimension) to push the pegs into the lawn. Example: a 2 x 3 m pond needs a 3 x 4 m net. See the 8 sizes and the number of pegs included.
When should I put the net on and when should I take it off?
Put it on as soon as the first leaves fall, before they sink. Leave it all winter: this is when herons are most present and fish, slowed down by the cold, are most vulnerable. Take it off in spring, once the last leaves have fallen and been removed: you get clean water back, without sludge from rotting leaves.
Can the net bear the weight of leaves and snow?
It holds the leaves back but is not designed to carry a load. Regularly remove the leaves that build up (leaf rake or leaf blower) and clear it after heavy snowfall so it stays taut above the water and does not sag into it.
Does the net really protect my fish from herons?
Yes, provided it covers the whole surface, with no gap along the edges, and does not touch the water. Herons fish from the bank or by wading in shallow water: a taut net blocks their access. For large ponds that are hard to cover, compare the options in our guide to protecting your fish from herons, for example the Laser Guard.
Are my fish and plants fine under the net?
Yes. The 10 x 10 mm mesh lets light, rain and air through; as long as the net stays taut above the water, your fish keep the whole pond surface. The black net stays discreet: you see the fish, not the net.
How do I fix or tension the net?
Each size comes with its plastic ground pegs (20 to 80 depending on size): one peg per aluminium eyelet, every 50 cm along the reinforced edge. For maximum tension, the eyelets also take an elastic cord or ball bungees; our experts will tell you which accessories are available on +32 10 86 03 54 or at support@foudebassin.com.

How do I look after and store it in spring?
In autumn, clear the leaves off the net every one to two weeks. In spring, hose it down, let it dry, fold it up with its pegs and store it under cover: it will serve again next autumn. Leaves that are already in the water can be removed with a fine-mesh pond net; see also our routine for fallen leaves in the pond.
