    Evening gang. Ive got a fiberglass preformed pond with near vertical sides. I want to be able to add something in case a wild beastie falls in. Has anyone had this issue and overcome it with a ramp or similar? Thanks

      a piece of upload_2015-5-3_20-0-6.jpeg the sturdy stuff not the sort for covering fruit bushes.

      If you have hanging over the side and let a plant grow through or over it will (you soon wont see it) give the hedgehogs and other small animals a opportunity to climb out
