Ok I think the title says it all,I need ideas for something in my pond for my fish to hide into,I was thinking of a few engineering bricks with couple of roof tiles over the top so the fish can swim under there,but I'm not so sure roof tiles are a good idea as I haven't a clue what goes into them when they are made,would be grateful of any suggestions,,

Hi thanks for your reply,,I can see where you are coming from with the drain pipes,but it would have to be a pretty big drain pipe for em to get in there,plus I would have to find a way to weight em down,,,,,if roof tiles are no good I was thinking of a sheet of black Perspex across some engineering bricks,weighted down with a pond plant,,but just checked out the price of Perspex and it costs a fortune,which seems a bit much just to sink in the pond,

We made some little bridges using bricks they love to hide under them.
