Palm-like shade panels that read on your fish graph
Set wide reclaimed PVC Shleafs into cement and give your mid-depth fish trees a tall, shade-casting profile. Greg Williams reported the panels showing like palm leaves on his fish graph with fish around them—turning simple cement-set pieces into believable underwater cover.
Ninety-six hand-cut panels
- 48 inches tall; narrow at the base, 4–7+ inches wide at the top
- 0.060-inch reclaimed PVC
- More than 275 square feet of surface area
- Approximately 60 pounds total
- Recommended freshwater depth: 5–9 feet
- Use three to five panels per habitat unit
How fast do fish move in?
Art Hask put his in cinder blocks around the dock and reported the habitat turning green within a week, full of bream and crappie. Walt Brown called it the easiest habitat ever—ready made and simple to stand up in cement.
How do I build with them?
Set three to five creased lower ends into cement in stable containers, leave the tops open or bend them to vary shade and travel lanes, and mix with fine strands or reeds for more intricate cover.
