Motorola Nursery Kinzo 8711252122885 Pond Protectors, Pack of 20, Protects Fish Against Herons and Cats, Black

Simple but sturdy. Having grappled for 20 years with nets tearing, dropping in the pond ( an inflatable beach ball under the middle of the netting does work if you like the look in the middle of the pond!) coupled with problems in maintenance of the pond, catching the net in planting, feeding etc. I decided to look at this product. It is not flimsy nor are the links supplied at all difficult to attach, as has been stated in some reviews. They float almost invisibly and can be simply connected to follow the outline of your pond so you can protect the whole perimeter. They cannot support cats or herons and deter any grab by claw or beak to reach the fish beneath. They do allow small wildlife like frogs to escape the pond rather than being caught up in the netting. I cannot recommend this enough. I have purchased 3 sets (3×20 pieces) and I will now keep the netting shut up in the shed! FYI my pond is approximately 11 feet by 5 feet with an irregular shore line.

Great product, used in conjunction with metal rods and fishing wire to keep heron at bay. Particularly useful as new pind so not as much cover for fish to hide. Great as you can make tge shape you want. Only draw back is they should supply more plastic fasteners as you really need 2 to properly fix each side together. I bought extra

These are really good for our large round pond. They are really good value and very easy to join together. They look so much nicer than having netting over the pond to stop the heron.

I've bought 4 of these now. They are cheap but very effective but there are a few big buts. I have a modest, 6m rectangular pond and it takes 80 of these hex-pieces to go right around the pond at a depth of 4-5 hexes (minimum to frustrate the heron). They are incredibly fiddly to assemble. The clips are very stiff and there are way too few of them. Your fingers will freeze and you will snap some of the bars. They can be assembled to work around features such as fountains and plants which is very handy. If you have the patience and a pre-drafted plan of how to do this. You absolutely have to assemble them on dry land but as close as possible to the pond. If you have anything growing in or next to the pond you have to assemble them in sections. Then place each into the pond and finally connect them together. You have to either find a way of anchoring them or (better) make them form a continuous connected perimeter. Otherwise they will drift apart and that gap is a big 'hello sexy' to the heron. They float on top of the water but are still pretty unobtrusive. They do sink over time, but this is a good thing as they become completely invisible. My goldfish are smart enough to know that 'under the mesh' is safer than swanning about above them. They get messed up by water lilies. They grow under them and push that section up. The neighbouring sections sink like the other end of the see-saw. Eventually the lilies grow through the mesh and now you have them stuck in the same place all summer (which is actually a good thing). The lilies and mesh together form an even more effective barrier. [Miscellaneous] They encourage blanket weed. But then so would any other form of barrier and these are easier to clean. Moorhens hate them and will stop eating your floating fish food. Duck couldn't give a sh1t and will happily waddle all over them. This makes any effort to fit them neatly, totally redundant.

Very fiddly to put together collect moss very quickly at this time of year and traps leaves making pond not look nice. Also doesn't stop herons we've lost 4 small fish to herons despite having these on. Wouldn't recommend unfortunately 😕

Really good. Trying to stop crows fishing newts out of pond, can link these together in whatever shape you want to cover bare bits, around plants etc. seem to float fine.

No clips in the box so unable to attach together

This product looks better than I thought it would. Hopevulk6 it’ll do the job and keep the heron away. We didn’t get on with the little clips so used cable ties instead. We felt they’d be better if there was a hole on the corner that the clip could go through to keep more rigid. Really easy to put together and they went round our pond ornaments and plants really easily. Good price too.

Float well. Hardly visible. Hope it works
