Gardeneer® Pond & Pool Netting
Protective Floating Net for Water Gardening and Pools
KNOXVILLE, Tn. Dalen Products Inc. offers Pond & Pool Netting as the perfect solution for protecting ponds, pools and hot tubs from unwanted animals as well as falling debris. In addition to the traditional use of keeping falling leaves out of ponds and pools, a relatively new use is to protect the fish stocked in backyard ponds from cats and other predators.
"With the growing popularity of water gardening, it is clear that homeowners are investing in water-garden-specific exotic plants, goldfish and expensive koi," said Christine Taylor, Dalens director of marketing. "We designed our product to be almost invisible so as to not interfere with the beauty of the pond, yet still provide protection from cats that naturally prey on these special fish species."
Pond & Pool Netting is a floating net with a small 3/8" mesh size that keeps out even the smallest debris. Made of black polypropylene with U-V inhibitors for long life, it is easy to use you simply stretch it over your pond or pool and secure the net to the ground with decorative stone, bricks or metal pins (such as Gardeneer® Garden Staples). This netting is especially helpful in autumn when leaves begin to fall. To clean the netting you simply lift out of the water, turn over and shake out the leaves and debris.
Pond & Pool Netting is available in 3 sizes (7x10; 14x14; 28x28) to fit a variety of applications. The suggested retail on the small size is $4.49, the 14x14 is $8.99 SRP, and the 28x28 carries a $31.99 SRP.
"Pond & Pool Netting helps boost category sales when merchandised with water gardening and pool products," said Taylor. "We think its important that retailers cross-merchandise the smaller sizes next to their water gardening display and the larger size next to pool accessories and chemicals to encourage impulse purchases."
Gardeneer® plant protection products are offered by Knoxville-based Dalen Products, a leading manufacturer of landscaping fabrics, garden netting and fencing, scarecrow devices, decorative fencing and edging, birding and other yard and garden products for use by both homeowners and landscapers.
