What is an effective leaf netting setup for windy backyard ponds?

An effective leaf netting setup for windy ponds uses PVC hoops arched over the pond to keep netting elevated, secured with landscape staples or pins to prevent wind displacement. The elevated net catches leaves before they enter the water and avoids sagging or tearing in strong winds. This system installs quickly, lasts through fall leaf drop, and removes easily when snow accumulates. It works well for ponds beneath deciduous trees in exposed locations.
