Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Creating habitat Garden hose for fish structure

I have used cut off pieces of garden hose in some of the cover I have built. The heavier hose works better for what I have done. As far as soaker hose, I would think it was made to handle water, so I would not expect water to break down the material in a short time. For me it has been more about how rigid the hose is. The heavier, stiffer hose has worked better than the cheap flimsy water hose. And the porous soaker hose, I would think would be better than slick plastic or rubber type material for algae or such things that grow on the cover you add to a pond. I have enjoyed building cover from things that others might discard. One mans trash is another mans treasure, so to speak. Some of the things I have added water hose to has been old deer feeder drums, old tires and flower pots that came from transplanting 6' pecan trees etc. It kinda of fun to see what I can put together for fish cover, fish attractor.
