Low‐cost enclosures (2‐m diameter) made of UV‐resistant, cross‐laminated polyolefin sheeting reinforced with a grid of twisted polyester filaments have a depth‐compensating capacity from 0.5 to 2.2 m and can be used where water level may fluctuate. Field testing for 126 days showed six such enclosures to be convenient and durable.
