What children love about the Bugzone
The Bug Shape
It’s a fun design to inspire children to engage with the pond and everything living in it!
The eye shapes in the liner
These are shallow viewing trays. It’s where you have the best view of the really tiny creatures. Kneel down and hold the bars. Get as close as you can and you will see them squirming, crawling and shooting about!
There are lots of different types of animals and plants
that need different homes in different places. The different depths and shapes give them all somewhere to live and interact with each other.
Perfect for studying ponds and pond life
You can reach in between the bars to collect water with magnifying viewing pots to see what tiny creatures live where in the pond and watch them moving naturally.
There are lots of interesting things to watch and learn about
so you can visit the pond in all sorts of lessons, not just in science!
Why teachers love the Bugzone
The Bugzone is an ideal focal point for your outdoor space
In no time at all, your Bugzone pond will be teeming with life and a thriving habitat. Your pupils will be engaged and it’s easy for teachers to use, resulting in quality learning experiences for everyone.
Possibilities for interesting projects are endless
Keep your pupils busy with ongoing projects to enhance your wildlife area. Amphibian hotels, piles of decomposing matter, connecting the pond to a rainwater butt, making a hide, making imaginary nests, using carpet off-cuts as regular viewing spots. These are just a few examples that children will love and be able to see quick results that work!
Useful to know…
The Bugzone is safe, accessible and simple to look after
It is a wildlife pond designed for clear visibility of plants and animals, diverse habitat development and easy maintenance. No knowledge of pond keeping is needed and installation is straight forward.
It complies with our FMEA risk analysis ensuring complete safety
The safety cover is fixed to the pond liner with marine-grade, tamper-proof bolts. The access section is padlocked securely closed.
The Bugzone is a quality, long-lasting product
The safety cover is made from galvanized and powder coated steel. The pond is made from UV stabilised fibreglass. So it will last for over 30 years!
It’s big enough to be a home for lots and lots of creatures
and small enough for you to look after year after year. The pond is 65cm deep, 2.4m long and 1.5m wide. The cover is 40cm high. The depth keeps the bottom of the pond at a regular temperature. This is crucial for a healthy, diverse habitat.
