Super Strong Solar-Weave Fabric on the Koi Pond Winter CoversOur pond covers are made from strong Solar-Weave fabric which can be tensioned without tearing.The fabric has a reinforced mesh on the top side and solar bubbles on the undersideThe cover allows light through to the pond.The solar bubbles transfer the sun’s heat to the layer of air underneath the pond cover to provide heat and solar gain from the sun.The edges of the cover are hemmed to give it strength and to prevent tearing.   NEW: Note that our pond covers are now made from GeoBubble material which gives it extra strength and durability4. We can offer a choice of two types of fixings to hold the cover in place on the Koi Pond Winter Covers:- Eyelets and Continuous Elastic BungeeEyelets are positioned around the edge of the cover.The edges of the cover are sewn and reinforced to prevent the eyelets tearing out.A continuous elastic “bungee” is then passed around the cover through the eyelets.The elastic is then hooked over wall fixings at various positions around the pond.This elastic fixing method gives some flexibility to the cover in windy conditions to prevent the cover from tearing.The continuous elastic strap also allows for varying heights of the fixing bolts around the pond. Anchor Bolts for brickworkLow profile anchor bolts for woodThe covers come with a choice of anchor bolts which can be fixed into brickwork/masonry or decking low profile anchor bolts for the use with wood. When the rectrable anchor bolts are used and the cover is removed for summer, the centre of the anchor bolt can be screwed in so it is flushWhen the covers is fitted, the centre is unscrewed so it protrudes allowing the bungee to be hooked over it. Sewn StrapsInstead of eyelets and an elastic strap fixing. we can provide straps sewn onto the edges of the cover.The straps are blue, 25mm wide and come with buckle, D-ring and brass flush fix anchor bolt Straps are sewn to the hemmed edge of the cover. The strap length is adjustable.At the end of each strap is a D-ring.The D-ring is then hooked over the anchor bolts and the strap length adjusted.For larger pond covers, straps make it easier to fit the cover than a continuous bungee and eyelets.5.

Measurements were perfect and once I had set up a suitable frame underneath I am very happy with the cover. It is lightweight and robust which is essential for the size of cover that I have. It has also stayed in position during the high winds associated with storm Barra which was something I was concerned about given the exposed location. Just need to find somewhere to store it all in the Spring!Mark”11.
