Good gracious - had no idea there were so many safety items you need to include. Haven't had a pool since 06 so I guess I'm out of the loop.

More important is the matter of personal liability. Houses are VERY close together here in The Villages, and yards are not allowed to be fenced, so it seems some type of enclosure is the only option to keep uninvited guests out.

Your insurance policy will require you to have some sort of restricted access to your pool to help ensure safety. Here it seems to be the bird cages since fences are not allowed by the deed restrictions.

Insurance company made no such inquiry, they assume it met the building code.
