The stacks were used for ridigity and to lay across the pond resting on each edge. First we used a fish net material then switched to a dark green plastic with 3" open squares. It kept the racoon and the birds away. Try variations on this theme depending on the size of your ponds.

You might need some slender rods to support it. Keeps the coons out, no problem to the fish, pretty much invisible, and very handy to lift leaves out every day.
