Our pond is dug into the ground with a rubber sheet liner so we can do this, but my husband reconfigured the pond so that there are no shallow edge shelfs. This has eliminated about 95% of the raccoon visits. We still use the netting. We can get herons and egrets. Maybe once in six weeks the netting will be messed with by raccoons, but no fish have been taken. The pond is about 16 inches deep.
