Best Pond Netting of 2025

"I needed a net that would keep leaves out and protect my fish from predators, and this one fits just right!"

"I'm thrilled with this netting! It practically becomes invisible over my landscape rocks, which I need to keep clean."

"This net is of excellent quality and unrolls easily. I covered my pond quickly this fall!"

"I had been using deer netting over my pond but it did not come in a large enough piece, so I had to overlap sections and the herons dropped right through it. This net is really great and a perfect fit for my koi pond. I stretched it over a frame I built out of rebar and poly landscape drip tubing. It looks really taut and great. I can blow leaves off with my blower."

"We had been cleaned out of our koi ponds by a gang of raccoons. I needed something very strong to withstand their strength. My previous bird netting didn’t cut it. Since I put up this net, the raccoons can’t get in. I've seen them on video walking back and forth on it, and it has withstood their weight. I love this net! It was easy to measure, cut, and put into place!"

"I just placed the AlpineReach net over my pond to keep falling leaves out and protect my large Koi from a visiting heron. It was easy to install, stretched without tearing, and is virtually invisible, allowing me to enjoy an undisturbed view of my pond. I would recommend choosing the net with staples for easier adjustments."

“I've had this covering my Koi pond for two years to protect my fish from the Cranes, and it works great.”

“This netting keeps the leaves out and protects my fish from birds. I can see them easily while they play.”

“Setting it up was a breeze for my husband and me. I was surprised at the high quality and how well it fit over the pond rocks.”

"I have a lot of trees and purchased this mainly to keep the leaves out of the pond. It did such a great job that I left it up even during heavy snow. While it initially collapsed into the pond, I was thrilled to see it spring back into shape as the ice melted. I’m very happy with this product and would buy it again!"

"I used this dome tent to cover my pond and waterfall. The durable material and easy securing process made me completely satisfied. I would recommend it without hesitation!"

"We bought this to protect our fish pond from predators and debris. The netting keeps a lot of stuff out and is easier to see through than my previous one. I love the zipper entry, though I wish there were two access points. Installation was simple, and so far, it has held up through storms. I've already recommended it to friends!"

"This net works great during the fall to keep my pond clear of leaves."

"I love that this net looks just like the one I bought from a local koi pond store, which was three times more expensive. It keeps leaves and blue herons out so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it holds up when the leaves really start to fall."

"We cover our pond every fall, and unlike other nets I've used that are plastic and rough on my hands, this one is much easier to handle and doesn’t tear up my nails."

"I've installed this net and so far, so good! No missing fish since I put it up. Even raccoons have made a mess around my pond, but they couldn't reach my koi. I'm really pleased!"

"This net has been a game changer for my pond. It keeps out leaves effectively, and I love that I can still see my fish clearly. Plus, it's lightweight, which made installation a breeze!"

"I built a PVC cage around my koi pond and covered it with this net. It was a bit challenging to work with due to its size, but now it's doing a fantastic job of keeping leaves out. I even have a backup net!"

“I found this net wonderful for covering my koi pond. It effectively keeps leaves out, and I used domed PVC pipe to ensure the leaves slide off. After the leaves fall, I can easily remove the net for winter. The net is durable and affordable, so I highly recommend it.”

“I purchased this net hoping it would keep raccoons away from my pond. It initially worked, but the second night, they tore a hole in it. While they didn't take any fish, they made a bit of a mess. However, it does a great job against leaves and seems sturdy enough.”

“I had a major issue with leaves filling my artificial pond every year. This net worked perfectly at keeping them out. I could easily stretch it over the rocks, making it stay above the water. It’s nearly invisible from a distance, and setup took about ten minutes. I'm now getting a second one for the filter area.”

"This net served its purpose well. The holes are nicely sized, allowing fish food pellets to drop through easily."

"I found the 15x20 net to be strong. It came rolled, which made it straightforward to stretch across my pond. I just used plastic pins to anchor it to the garden, and now it helps keep my pond leaf-free and safe from herons."

"I've been using this net for about seven months now, and while it's starting to show some wear, I'm very pleased with my purchase. It has protected my koi from raccoons and other animals. I also appreciate that it doesn't detract from my pond's beauty."

"I have a large peanut-shaped pond under some trees, and this net has worked GREAT for catching leaves. I just anchor it with rocks, shake it, and the leaves scatter. No more hand netting—the holes let me feed my fish too!"

"This product is exactly what I needed! It saves me a lot of time and effort raking small leaves like Chinese Elm from my lawn. It really speeds up the gathering process in the fall!"

"Unpacking and installing this net was a breeze. It comes with ground stakes and 20 zip ties, making setup easy. It effectively keeps out leaves and various animals."

"I found this product to be exactly what I needed. The close weave kept out 99% of leaves and debris from my water feature's filter. It's incredibly strong and didn’t tear even under stress, including from squirrels. The only minor downside is that snow accumulates on it, but I'd still prefer the close weave."

"I live in a windy area and needed something for our 19' Mongolian yurt. After trying a winter pool cover that deteriorated quickly, I decided to try this pond cover. It's been holding up great for 8 months and has solved our flapping tarp issue. I highly recommend it!"

"I love that this cover keeps the herons and leaves out of my pond. However, I’m having a bit of trouble seeing my beautiful Koi lately. I hope they’re just hiding due to the activity around the pond. It’s unfortunate that birds can’t bathe like they used to, but I feel reassured knowing my fish are safe."
