Other than pulling my ladder in and out of the pool every day, is there something that I can install that keeps the kids out when it's not being used?
Ok so there is an alarm function I can buy? Our yard is fenced, but our daughter is now able to open deadbolt doors from inside and could get access to the ladder. We got a permit to erect the pool last year. All that was required was a fenced in yard. No separate fence as it is an above ground pool.Children should never be allowed unsupervised access to the pool. Covering the ladder is not a replacement for a fence. In many areas of the US all entrances to the pool must be fenced with a child-proof fence, or alarmed, or both. I would think Canada has similar regulations.
It's a Coleman 12x22? steel frame pool. Kid is 3. The ladder that came with the pool hangs over the corner and is quite wonky.What kind of above ground pool do you have? Could you post a picture? How old are the kids? I would not pull the ladder out if there are things in the area they could drag over to get into the pool.
Then try a video search for toddler pool ladder if this doesn't take you to some toddler pool ladder - Google SearchI don't see a video
Our house has two deadbolts on each door leading to the backyard/pool area. The second is about a foot from the top of the door so little ones can’t open it. A friend has these and has added an alarm to those doors. Might help?Ok so there is an alarm function I can buy?
