I just fixed (I hope) a leak in the PVC of my IG pool. The leak was on a cracked 90 elbow under some Split Leaf philidandrian plants. I assume the roots from the split leaves caused it. Anyone have any suggestions on protecting the PVC from further abuse? I really like the split leaves as they provide a really awesome shade to that part of the pool And they look good too. :^)

I was thinking of cutting up a crate and placing it upside down over the PVC. Comments?

Thanks!
