I used a fish not spread over the pond held tight all round the 4 sides so it doesn't sag into the pond. Visibility is great but after a few weeks the tightness made my net slowly tear and i had gaping holes. So after a while i changed to the stiff black mesh which has square holes. In order to support over the pond d I had to place strips of aluminum to hang the plastic mesh. It was unsightly and can't see the kois well. After about 6 months I removed them, cut them into strips and fixed them along the 4 sides each about 6 to 8 inch high like a wall all round.
