Netting a Pondless Waterfall follows a similar approach to netting a small or large pond, but with adjustments tailored to the specific structure of the feature. Here's how to do it:
Set Up the Framework:
- Install 5 to 6 foot (1.5 to 1.8 meters) cast iron fence posts around the perimeter of the Pondless Waterfall.
- Connect the posts using paracord to form a supportive frame, resembling the structure of a tent.
Establish a Central Support Line:
- Run a main cord across the length of the waterfall feature, starting from the basin to the waterfall area.
- This central cord acts as the primary support for the net, preventing sagging and ensuring proper coverage.
Drape and Secure the Net:
- Lay the net over the paracord framework, ensuring it covers the entire Pondless Waterfall from the basin to the top of the waterfall.
- Adjust the net to eliminate gaps and provide complete protection.
- Secure the edges of the net to the ground or to the posts to hold it in place and prevent movement.
Check for Stability:
- Inspect the netting setup to ensure it is taut and stable, with no loose areas that could allow debris to enter.
By following these steps, you can effectively net a Pondless Waterfall, keeping it free from leaves and other debris while maintaining its aesthetic and functional qualities.
