If I had the funds to buy all that prebuilt cover, I would have. Just having hook proof cover like that is worth it. My cedars have been on the bottom for three years now. I’m not sure what shape they are in, and they’ve grabbed more than a few hooks. I built four trees from left over five gallon buckets, and conduit. I could have used a dozen.
For a two or three acre pond, I’d consider getting one of the pros here to come in early and give you a plan. You’ll be making an awful lot of decisions pretty quickly. Getting as much right the first time will save you a lot of time. (still my most precious commodity)
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
