[talk-au] How to tag swimming pontoons

[Andrew Davidson]

Is there something underneath eg: a net?

One suggestion is barrier=boom (there's 30 of these):

https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/37418/tag-line-of-floating-buoys-near-weir-or-dam

other people have used barrier=net (423 of these) or barrier=shark_net 
(6 of these).
