Help and Advice needed on a roof over the fish, Plus a look at some of the fish.

6 legs in total 3 front and 3 rear should be fine with a basic frame on top for the roof. I would put a 5°+ slope on the roof down towards your neighbour's garden with a gutter connecting to a water butt. Your front legs will be fine where you were saying in the video but i would suggest extending the roof past the front legs to reduce the chance of leaves blowing over the front of the roof. Also, put a gutter brush in the gutter so the leaves don't block it. Put some perspex between the roof and border fence so leaves don't get in and natural light can get in.

Also at the front u could use retractable netting, I've seen someone selling them on Etsy ( not cheap ! ) or bamboo blinds could be nice but won't last as long ( but could be replaced multiple times for the cost of the Etsy netting )

@@kerrycollins723 Thank you for this. It's a big help. I was going to slop the roof into my garden, gutting along the front and netting the front so I could just roll it back up.

I have my pond under a huge oak. I just cannot take the thought of covering the pond. My take on it is to make sure the filtrering system can cope with the debree and clean it daily.

Sir, please may I suggest a look at B&Q Yuzet Green Debris Scaffold Netting, 2m x 50m for £30. No supports, just two wires to make a sloped canopy towards the fence, with a loose drop front to keep herons away at the front. The lines can be anchored at one side and then through a pulley at the other - I would have a weight at the pulley end to keep the line tight but you can tie it down

Thank you for your comment and for watching the video. That is a good idea, but I am looking to put a roof on it so that when the weather is bad, people can still come and see the fish without getting too wet. But thank you again.
