Ponds surely enhance the market and aesthetic value of a property. However, without proper safety measures such as pond covers and safety nets, they can cause injury to your loved ones, especially kids and pets. You can never be too careful when it comes to keeping your pond secure and free from accidents. To help you out, we’ve rounded up five tips from the pros.

Place your pond where it’s visible. Build your pond in a highly noticeable spot within your property. This way, you can keep an eye on it and be sure no one is trying to take a swim when you're not looking.

Install a fence. It's also good to fence off your pond so kids and pets can't wander into it by accident. Guarantee that the fence is tall enough and is made of solid material such as metal or wood (and not chain links) for better functionality.

Choose secure decorations. If you have any large rocks or other features in your pond, secure them, so they don't fall on someone and cause serious injury.

Keep it clean. Doing this will not only make your pond look nicer, but it will also be safer for the fish and other aquatic creatures who live in it. It will also prevent your pond from being a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which can be dangerous for your loved ones.

Invest in pond covers and safety nets. Adding these to your pond will help prevent accidents and mishaps. When buying one, choosing a supplier trusted by pond owners is recommended.
