Koi Pond Guard Installation Guide

Walk the perimeter and decide where corner, end, and mid posts will go. Every change of direction needs a corner post. End posts terminate each run, and mid posts fill the gaps between them.

Tip: Start with 1500mm between post centres; go wider only where a window or obstacle needs it, and confirm final measurements with us.

Using a tape measure, mark the exact position of each post on your coping stone or surround. Keep spacing consistent along each run for a clean finish.

Tip: The Pond Guard Designer calculates post positions automatically from your pond dimensions.

Drill pilot holes at each marked position and fix the stainless steel base plates securely using appropriate masonry fixings. A strong base fixing is essential for a safe, stable guard system.

Tip: Use diamond-tipped masonry bits for hard surfaces like slate or granite.

Slide each stainless steel post into its base and tighten. Attach the glass clamps at the correct height. Standard D clamps grip the glass face; Sleeve Fit clamps have a channel for a flush finish.

Measure from the inside face of one post to the inside face of the next. Then apply the correct deduction for your clamp type to get the finished glass width.

Tip: Standard D clamps: deduct 42mm. Sleeve Fit clamps: deduct 72mm.

Slide each toughened glass panel into position. For D clamps, place the glass and tighten the screws. For Sleeve Fit, slide the glass into the channel from the top. Leave approximately 25mm clearance from the coping stone for drainage.
