To be honest, over wintering without the hoop-house was rather stressful. I'd be out there checking on the pond almost daily, not that there'd be anything I could do if I found a complete block of ice 2 feet deep ![]() My next door neighbour has a pond too that is only a foot (or maybe 18" deep) and they overwinter their fish outside too. Their pond is tiny, like 5' by 4' and they just blast it with flow to keep the water moving so that it doesn't freeze. I'm not so sure how the fish like that though.. |

![]() Good lookin pond. I have a 15' X 9' with a 4 step waterfall/stream. I comtimplated putting up a hut over it last fall but I went with the de-icer and one of my pumps pushing the warm water across the pond. I shut the main waterfalls off and just went with this system. The only problem with this is that it's murder on your power bill. I've read that running a de-icer is like leaving a hair blower on 24/7. What do you do though, all my fish survived. I went deeper with mine, about 38" in the middle, just make sure you have a 6' locking gate around the enclosure. I'll have to throw a few pics of mine in here. It's been running for about 3 years, looks good with all the plants grown in and the flowers blooming.
