I'm planning to purchase a Hydroforce 12' round by 39" deep metal frame pool from Crappy Tire this spring.
I've wrapped my head around what I need to do to get it set up and level and happy, but my main concern is raccoons.
Having lived in the GTA most of my life, and having lost inflatable kiddie pools overnight to raccoons, I'm wondering how durable this "real" pool will be.
We now live in downtown Hamilton and I have seen far fewer raccoons than I used to in East York/Scarborough, but I know they're around.
The pool isn't the inflatable kind, just the liner strapped to a frame, but that still seems vulnerable to me. Anyone locals have any experience with this? Tips?
I'm also considering buying a sonic fence thingy, but am not sure how well they work.
