My pool is in the process of being remodeled and re-plastered.
I live on a gated block and my backyard has security doors on both entry points of the property (with double deadbolts, so no handles to open doors).
Only eight homes within the gated block and only one other home has small kids (they have a bigger pool than me with no child fence I believe).
Right now we have a child fence around the pool (I think it's 5 feet tall?), but it's being removed for the remodel.
Our kids are a lot older now and both are experienced swimmers. They have been going to swim class for years, every week.
Once the pool is fully remodeled, I'm not fully sold on placing the child fence back around it.
My wife, on the other hand, is worried about the chance possibility that a child happens to sneak on the property, drowns, and we get sued. There is no statute that requires a fence around a pool in Nevada, only that you must secure an "attractive nuisance" - like not having open access to your backyard.
Not sure what some members thoughts are on this?
