The problem will be to keep the snow and ice from pulling the screen away from the frame, whatever it’s made of. An 8’ x 12’ area is a lot . Might be easier just to clean the pond out in the spring.

how about a screen made of PVC or Lumber that floats on the pond? then when ice/snow melts you just lift it and remove the leaves, the water goes thought the screen. the screen itself will never hold the ice/snow, that will be floating on the water below.
