Will there be bubblers in the sun-shelf. If not, most like them, we sure do. They are nice for sound, fun and interest and circulates the water on the sunshelf.

Do you have children or grand-children that will come over regularly. If you will have little ones to your home frequently, recommend a fence rather than alarms. You are paying alot of alarms. My fence of about 40' was $850 with a swing gate.

Do you have any drawings that you can show.
 
We have actually talked ourselves out of the cage so that is out. I have thought about bubblers in the sunshelf since we aren't doing a waterfall or anything like that. I should ask to see what it would cost. We are on a pretty tight budget. As far as alarms, I thought that was expensive too. From what I have heard, the county is really crazy on permits and regulations so it might be something specific to Sarasota....just not sure yet. It's just me and my husband 90% of the time. Our grandkids come down from TN once or twice a year.
I have a pool drawing from this company in my email but I am not sure how to get it here to show everyone.
 
We have a privacy fence already but will just have to move our latches up to 54". We did get a new estimate with footers and no cage. We might want to have one later. I have debated about the heater but since it is warm enough year round to swim here, I don't want to have to get in cold water in January. Of course cold water to me is anything less than about 82! :)
