We design and build PondArks here in one of our shops at Rockspan Farm. We have trouble getting close enough to identify the little critters that bask on our Turtle Pads, but you can get a great introduction to them here:

We've learned that the sheer weight of turtles on the platform can cause it to sink low in the water, denying real estate to newcomers. So, we've added additional floatation. The fish habitat feature is 1" polyethylene irrigation pipe with special four-way fittings to keep them oriented under water. You need to measure the depth of your pond or lake to know how long to make the fish habitat.
If you have questions about these cool items, call Dan Chiles at 417-848-2780.
