My pond has a over flow siphon piping setup made of PVC pipe.

I'm concerned that the PVC is going to be damaged by the sunlight.

What is the best way to protect the piping and that looks more natural?

Most of us are also using PVC. I have one overflow that is about 20 years old with no problems from UV rays.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

It would be nice to have a solution for camouflaging white PVC pond drains. I have piled up large field stones on some of mine, but they block some of the water flow and seem to become dislodged over time exposing the white pipe again. I am guessing paint would not hold up well. Any ideas?
