Yep, might be a bit of over kill depending on how big your pond is

Would depend on the design. If you could put up a rough sketch then the engineering dudes here will let you know. I built the one above from and already proven design from MalcomC on Murrays forum

I have built one at home which has with stood the stong easterlies we have had lately.

It is made out of 25mm PVC pipe.

Mine is attached to the fence and house using T Pieces on the ends with 32mm conduit clamps to attach them to timber.

You could make a free standing one by driving star pickets into the ground and attaching the pipe to them.

Mine looks sad compared to the others but here is a smaller version I made in an afternoon - with quick release valves for Texas wind storms >.< Image
