Another idea to cover the skimmer

[mondotomhead]

I cannot take the credit for this idea.      I saw it on (ahem) another pond website but I loved it so much I nagged DH to make me one.  Its a miniature "dock".  The middle part comes out so I don't have to lift the whole thing.  I tried making a fake rock but it came out terrible.

Also, I wanted to thank TIMGOD for posting exact instructions for posting pictures.  This is my very first success at posting pictures.  Get ready for my pond pictures.

They both look very nice.    I saw the first idea on Garden Web and thought it was very cleverly done.

I use to have one just like that on my pond with my pumps under it.  Then I built the settlement chamber pond and the dock was to small to fit over that so I had to do a deck type and I so miss my dock!  I love yours

WOW!  I really like your idea of a whole deck with a part of it removable.  Very clever

I really like this idea.  I have 2 chairs by the pond, in the grass, as close to the pond as I can get.  I'm now thinking I may have to "suggest" to DH that a deck might be a good idea too.  I'm sure he will be thrilled
