Hi all - getting close to moving fwd with our pool build this spring, and the concept of a pool fence has been bugging me since we started looking at pool designs a few years (!) ago...
I want to see the pool...and not through a fence, but yet a fence is required. Why not use plexiglass or some other type of clear shatter-proof/resistant material? Can I find 4 x ? foot panels, with a ~foot of wire at the bottom to make it the minimum of 5 foot in height.
This will get expensive perhaps. I likely would have to find a direct supplier somewhere. If I go through HD, the panels might be something like: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/sto ... =202038069
Worries: Cost of course, but also "yellowing" from the sun and perhaps even breakage if someone really pushes against them or slams against them accidentally, and then of course cuts themselves. I would likely have a fence builder put an iron frame around each piece and connect them to iron posts. Probably do four of the 96 inch panels..again, costly!
thoughts here? Anyone done this or have other suggestions of what to use?
Thanks!
