    Koi Jumping Is More Common Than Most Owners Realise

    Koi can be lost when they jump out of garden ponds. It can happen suddenly and without warning, often leaving pond owners wishing they had taken steps to prevent it sooner.

    • Koi can jump surprisingly high
    • Predators and stress can trigger jumping
    • Many pond owners lose fish unexpectedly

    A Modern Alternative To Pond Nets

    The Jump Guard™ System uses slim stainless steel posts installed around the pond perimeter to create a subtle barrier that discourages koi from jumping.

    Unlike pond nets, the pond remains fully visible and easy to enjoy.

    A guard cannot guarantee against every jump or predator attack; effectiveness depends on height, water level, gaps and layout. Pond-edge jump guards are not child-safety fencing or safety balustrades. Periodic cleaning and fitting checks are needed. Photos or sketches need measurements for an initial estimate; Andy confirms final glass sizes and specification before manufacture.
