Dears,
I just wanted to share my winter set up for this year and get opinions and constructive comments. This will be the second winter this pond is going to be covered. Many more pictures to come. . Thanks.
This picture show my winter cover view from the bedroom window. Its a wood frame 14x10 and stands about 2 feet above the water line. Currently covered with 2 inch thick styrofoam insulation. Later when it gets colder the will be another layer. That would be R20 total insulation. The sides are insulated using R20 wall insulation.
Near the centre edge there is an access panel the I can open where I can step in, slide over a couple of panels to clean my skimmer, feed the fish etc. They are always happy to see me.
Unlike many, I'm one of those that look forward to winters.
This picture shows the simple framework and the plastic cover underneath that has small slots to let water through.
Can somebody PM me on how to make images smaller (iphone camera/mac).
