Source for pond netting

[backyardponder]

Fall is here and it's almost time for me to cover the pond with a net to catch the leaves. Previously I've used garden netting which is too frustating since the holes are too big and small leaves fall in.  Does anybody here have a source for a good sturdy netting that has really small homes?  I've googled pond netting and usnetting.com has net that has 1/6 inch holes. 
Any suggestions?
I need a high quality net that will last.

Thanks,
Eija

This will be the first year I have used a net so I don't really know the answer to your question.  I bought a laguna net to cover mine this year.  I hope it lasts because I sure don't want to buy a new one every year.  It has fairly small holes.

Last year I just used deer netting for my big pond.  I just cut two pieces and took nylon thread and sewed the two pieces together.  That took a little bit of time, looking cross-eyed. ., because after starring at it for awhile, it gets too you....  .  I bought that at lowes.  My other is just pond netting I got at a pond supply store, I've used it for several years.

Yeah, I've used the deer netting before to.  My pond is at the edge of woods with several branches hanging over. The deer netting only stopped the larger leaves.  As I would try to shake off the leaves of the net, it got all tangled and stuck on the edge rocks 
I'm looking for a sturdier net that won't tangle easy 
Since last winter a big mean bird ate all my fish, I want to leave the net on all winter.

I have ordered things from Gempler's with good luck.  Here is a link to their netting products  http://www.gemplers.com/a/shop/search.aspx?HKW=net&UID=200609051254518435434101
This one looked good....   http://www.gemplers.com/a/shop/product.asp?T1=G51907&UID=200609051254518435434101

Good luck!

Eija, I also found that smaller leaves from all my birch trees were getting past the deer netting so two years ago I switched to shade cloth. Its mesh is fine enough to stop even the needles from our spruce trees! It's also UV protected for up to 5 years, I think. I weigh it down around the edges with rocks and support it in the middle with inflatable pool toys such as inner tubes and balls.

I get it mail order from Lee Valley.... don't know if they are in the States but shade cloth must be available at many other places.

Good Luck

We always use landscape netting that our state and county uses for holding down grass seeds on large seeding jobs.  It's extremely sturdy and you should be able to buy it at seed or landscaping companies-I lift it off several times and DRAG it across my driveway to the pasture to put the wet leaves out there.  So it's really sturdy.

I built a large PVC frame (walk-in) over my pond and strung 4" mesh netting.  I bought it from this company - lots of different types, good prices:

Here's the source for the highest quality netting I have ever seen.  Toron netting is strong and I can testify that it lasts as I have some I still use that my father purchased over 30 years ago.  Go to  http://www.jacissel.net/  Talk to them on the phone.  They are very helpful and I am certain you will get what you want.

Thank you, thank you, I have a lot of options now.  Just what I was looking for!
