Winter Tips

It is important to mark off the perimeter of your Fish Pond.
Snow on and around the Fish Pond can make it hard to distinguish where the yard ends and where the Pond begins.
Marking off the perimeter will help prevent anyone from falling into your Water Garden.

Marking the edges of the Fish Pond with stakes is a common way of distinguishing where it is safe to walk.

Some people like to put little flags on the top end of the stakes to make them more apparent.
A string can also be tied from stake to stake to really make the boundaries clear.
Outdoor holiday lights can also be used instead of a string to add to the beauty of your backyard.

When putting your stakes in the ground be sure to place them at least two feet outside the edge of the Fish Pond.
Putting them right at the edge could be dangerous to your liner.

Using Pond Lights in or around your Water Garden will bring life and excitement to your backyard.
Having Pond Lights in your Water Garden will also help make it easier to see that you have a water feature. This will help make your Fish Pond more safe and even more enjoyable to look at.
Pond Lights can be used to high-light your favorite parts of your Water Garden during the winter time.
Some Pond Lights can even be used in or outside the pond.

There is no reason that your Pond can't be safe and beautiful all year round.
