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.
