At the end of my pond there is a small brick-built enclosure which houses a filter and air pump. I need to make a new lid for it because the current one (about 7 years old) is past its best. When new, it looked like:
Any suggestions as to what to use as a replacement. It needs to be heavy enough not to blow away, but light enough for me to lift off. It needs to be able to survive the weather. I've got some more roofing felt with which I can cover it if necessary, but the current one seems to get wet on the
*underside* for some reason which I can't fathom. SWMBO suggested using a slab of marble(!) but that's likely to be (a) expensive, (b) difficult to cut to shape and (c) too heavy to lift.Any (sensible!) alternative suggestions?
TIA.
[1] There's probably a proper name for it, but it's the sort of board often used for shed roofs - a bit like chipboard, but made from wood shavings rather than chips
