When thinking of a custom floating island, it’s useful to consider the overall shape that you are you looking for in regards to the floating island application? What is the main purpose of your floating island? Do you want to maintain a healthy pond? Improve water quality or biodiversity in your pond ecosystem, improve pond aesthetics, create waterfowl nesting, add shoreline protection, stormwater or greywater treatment, improve fish spawning? There are many applications for BioHavens® , as well as routes that you can go as far as shaping. Our most popular selling island shape is the kidney. If you want more island for your money, the rectangular, square or kidney are your best choices. You can also join islands together to make a larger floating island.

The custom floating island is our most popular selling item, this allows more flexibility of shape and design. Want to buy a floating island for a large pond? Maybe you are looking for a 10 x 10 foot island, 15 x 20 foot, or a 20 x 30 foot floating island? We can customize islands to fit your desired application. Tell us what you are using the island for and we can help guide you in the right direction. Consider the shape, size, and weight load that you might be interested in. This depends on a few factors, which we will discuss. Will you be planting sod on a floating island, will you be using the island for otters, or a possible swan nesting site? If so, these would be important items to share with us prior to manufacturing – as we would need to make some adjustments prior to making the floating island.
