I have a roughly 4x25 meter pond on the property that I need to cover up due to having small children.
Limited budget so a cheap solution rather than an aesthetic solution is prioritized.
There is bedrock directly under the ground so anchoring in the soil is not possible.
I'm leaning towards drilling holes along the rock face, attaching posts, and stretching chicken wire around. What should be the spacing between posts for chicken wire? Any other ideas someone might get from looking at the picture?
I get several ideas that have nothing to do with fencing.
But for fencing, I think you're on the right track. It's probably hard to get cheaper and simpler than chicken wire on posts. You might also be able to utilize the trees that are there, but that's about it.
Shoreline protection prohibits filling in and covering over, and actually also fencing in, if I have understood correctly. But it's not fun to have on the property if you have small children.
I would probably consider putting up a fence so that the whole part of the property is enclosed, and installing a child-safe gate.

I hadn't thought about utilizing the trees, great tip! I guess that's the way to go, combined with a few posts then.
The practice around here (Uppland) is now generally green chain-link fencing on steel posts, just over a meter high. Previously, it was common to use something like "wildlife fencing," but children can easily get under it.
Is it an old mine hole? If so, you can get help from the county council to fence it in.

Good tip! I'll keep it in mind if I want a permanent solution in the future. However, it's such a nice part of the property that I would only want it fenced temporarily as long as there are children around.

Damn, how cool is it to have a cave to dive into on your own property! Cave and mine diving are amazing dive sites. Do you know more about what it looks like underwater?
How old are the children? It's easy to be overprotective unnecessarily. It quickly teaches them that it's dangerous and shows them how to "rescue" each other if someone falls in. Children over 3 years old are usually mature enough for "dangers."
Also look at sheep fencing, easier to tension than chicken wire. However, some can be a bit too easy to climb over due to large meshes. I'm going to set up a fence for a brook myself, it will be poles and horizontal slats. I will only see it as a speed reducer for the children.
