Security safety for 12' pool

[qwertyjjj]

My current 12' agp is only 40". 8" short of the municipal requirement to be 4ft high for safety and to prevent kids getting in.
Fences seem expensive and I came find any 12ft covers that would securely hold onto the rails.
Has anyone done a DIY cover or similar for this situation?

My completely non-law school advice, which is based on what my lawyer told me when I moved into a house with a pool...

Don't scrimp on safety things like that. Pay for a good fence. Then you're covered for liability and moral purposes. If you try to cheap out or diy and something bad were to happen...

Yeah of course but it's a $150 12' pool.
Don't want to spend $1000 on fencing so was looking for options. I've seen people just extends the 8" with a railing fence attached to the t bars. Wondering what to do that with and how to securely attach.
