[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have a photo of the pool? I'm having trouble envisioning what's so great about it that a fence would ruin its aesthetics. I don't think I've ever seen a pool without a fence -- and we have some fairly wealthy friends.[/quote] I think you and some other posters may be confused about the fence terminology. Of course they had a their entire backyard including the pool fenced - like a tall wooden stockade fence - to keep random toddlers from wandering in from the neighborhood and drowning in their pool. This is what local jurisdictions and homeowners insurance policies universally require. What they did not have was a pool fence between the deck and the actual water, which keeps toddlers wandering out of the house from drowning in their pool. When their kids were little my SIL’s family had one like this, but shorter: [img]https://www.childguardsafetyfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/IMG_4291-scaled.jpeg[/img][/quote] My brother and SIL did too, when their kids were young. These types of fences are very common when you have little kids. [/quote] My brother paid for a fence like that to be installed for the pool at our parent's house. It is removable so when his kids visited our parents (the grandparents of the kids) the first thing he did was to immediately put up the fence. Then when they left or the grandparents were done babysitting the fence went came down. This was especially important because even though there was a sliding glass door with a lock that was up higher, there were dogs that needed to be let in and out. I was really grateful when I had kids because I would do the same. I would NOT have felt comfortable leaving my kids at that house without a fenced pool area. We have a pool and besides the fence that encloses the backyard there is a separate 5 foot fence when you go out the back door between a grassy area and the actual pool. It is shocking the family thought it was okay to have the set up that they did. 18 children died in drownings in Arizona in 2024. People posted to the mother's account that the set up with the pool was dangerous and they were deleted. [/quote]
