We made the decision to put a roof on the pond mainly to protect the terrapins through winter and bad storms, the addition of a roof provides them with a more stable ambient temperature throughout the year. It is also very beneficial to terrapins as they don’t have rainwater affecting the PH level of the water in the pond.
