Default Does your CYV pool NOT have a birdcage?
In looking at TV via Google Earth & MSN maps I see that quite a few (but still probably less that 10%) of CYVs with pools don't have bird cages over them.

I realize that they're not required for CYVs since they all have the walled courtyards, but I'm curious if that is the ONLY reason that some don't.

We're not sure if we would want a birdcage over our pool. I know they keep out leaves & bugs, etc., but it seems like they would also cut out quite a bit of sun. We don't want a pool that seems shady all of the time. We enjoy floating & tanning in our pool here in Birmingham, and want to do the same when we retire, hopefully in TV.

Just wondering if those without birdcages wish they had one, or do they prefer their pool "naked & exposed" so to speak?

thanks for any input.
