d lee,
Do a search on floating islands, on this site, and you should turn up quite a bit of info. There are a number of different styles using several different kinds of building materials. I have one that started out as pvc pipe covered with a plastic woven cloth and a dozen different types of plants.
I let it float free for about a year, then I tried to anchor it and finally it found its own spot and anchored its self to the bank in one corner of the pond.
1/4 & 3/4 acre ponds. A thousand miles from no where and there is no place I want to be...

I was reading on these type threads and did one in my pond. I used cypress stumps that float on their own and look natural. Turned out nice.
I subscribe!
