Pond safety
Pond safety, please read.
Pond safety should always be taken into consideration no
matter what you are doing, but even more so where ponds are concerned with children.
By nature children are inquisitive and they will no doubt "want
to investigate" what that little pair of eyes are in that "big
puddle" to you and me it is a frog or fish looking out, but a child
does not know that, they will lean in to get a better look or reach in
to grab it and ......... in they go.
There is no polite way to put it but you can drown in 2cm of water.
If you have a pond and children are visiting then ACCOMPANY them at
all times. It is no use thinking "oh so and so will be all
right, its only a pond, i am only going to make a cup of tea so i will
not be long" then the phone rings etc etc
How would you feel knowing that your pond was responsible for the
death of a child.
We would like to introduce you to a product on the market consisting
of an interlocking grid system that sits just below the water surface,
This company is nothing to do with us, we just think it is a very good
product.
Did you know that most child drowning's happen in other peoples
ponds. If you have a pond and small children then please FENCE IT OFF SECURELY
or better still drain it and make it into a sand pit.
If you still want to have water in your garden also consider a water
feature or a fountain that uses a sump
Remember: Prevention is better than cure.
