The Laguna Pro Pond Skimmer provides a wide variety of features for making maintenance work in and around ponds very convenient. An extendable aluminum shaft allows you to adjust the reach to give you just the right range. The shaft extends from 33 to 61 inches and the net is equipped with a slip-resistant metal handle that reduces slippage when your hands get wet. The top of the frame has a plastic guard that protects the net from ripping or wearing down due to friction. The frame has rounded corners which allow access to hard to reach places. The Laguna Pro Pond Skimmer has soft netting, and there is also a string on the handle for easy storage hanging.
