From 2003

This client contacted us as he was concerned about the potential safety of his pond with young children. Upon surveying the pond we agreed upon fitting the Safapond decking system. The plastic grid system can be built to accommodate any size of pond and is stable enough to support an adults weight, let alone a fallen child.

The product is not cheap, however having completed several installations and maintained other ponds with Safapond in, we are more than happy to recommend it to other prospective clients, where unsightly fencing or metal grids are not preferred.
