Put the edge under what ever you are using to hold down the edges of the liner and preferable put the edges directly against the liner. That will keep them from going under as well. It may be a bit of a pain for you when you need to access the pond but if you can get the pond snake free it will keep them out. An added plus it will also keep leaves and what no out as well<br><b>References : </b><br> The wall may reduce the problem but it won’t eliminate it as water moccasins can and will climb (You see them in trees by bodies of water quite frequently) Your best option is likely what Anon suggested which is a fine mesh net over the whole pond.
