Even in winter your pond is just breathtakingly beautiful.

OK, Wayne, you got me to thinking about how nice it would be to have my pond covered. Those pix are beautiful. Here are two pix of my pond, one today and one from this summer. What a difference!

Huge difference DP but covered with snow is another beautiful picture of it.

WW, what about any tropical plants you have under your cover? Will they be ok?

Thanks for posting guys. :thumbup:

Tropicals wouldn't survive in this enclosure during the winter.
They are all tucked away in the heated shed.


Thanks Don .And the same welcome is extended to you also if your ever in the Niagara area on my side of the ditch.

Yup. Dual purpose. And there are sky lights in the roof.

Nice WW, you think of everything. :thumbup:

I leave one pump running all year. It doesn't create a water feature. It just disturbed the surface right below the main falls. This water goes through a 45 gal. filter that I have buried with just the top exposed for cleaning.
