Laguna Floating Planting Basket, Extra Large

We bought a few of these for our backyard pond to provide shade for our koi. They’re perfect! We bought three of them and have them all connected to each other. We did anchor them to the bottom of the pond so they they didn’t float to the skimmer and block it. We have planted water plants directly in them using pond soil as well as dropped a pot directly in them. Both options work well. Even purchased a few for my parent’s pond.

Thought these would be perfect for pond but most plants died, they actually need water from the top. think I will plant artificial ones in there for the pond!

10/17/2016 Update - So far this floating plant basket has held up well. We have been using it approximately 1 year and have had no issues. We ended up weighting it down with fishing line and attaching a couple tire tubes adjoining it to create an island in the middle of our pond.Originally I was a bit disappointed in the size of the float being as though it seemed small for the extra large size and the price was high in my opinion. But it seems to be holding up well and we are pleased with this product.

The floating basket started out nice. Within 2 months the black is gone along the top of the planter and you can see the foam ring. I don't know what happened to the black covering but if I wanted just a foam looking ring to float in my pond i think I could have found something for less $$.

A bit pricey for a piece of foam, the netting looks and feels sturdy, it worked for me.

Too expensive for styrofoam and cloth. It works though!!

Love these, they don't last more than a couple years, but the fish can'tGet to the plants and the plants help filter the pond and look more like a natural pond. I put hyacinth in with a little of the clay pond rocks, this gives the roots something to grow around and be stable. They grow a couple feet up and the out over the islands.

The fabric disintegrated in 2 months; now i will make some replacements out of something, like ground cover fabric. Don't buy this type. It is a waste of money. I bought three for a out large pond; all i have left is 3 styrofoam donuts that i could have cut from a block for $1 each.
