We have a very large backyard that is fenced in with a pool fence that meets our local and insurance requirements. The pool is fairly close to the house, and has a separate fence made up of picket sections and deck railing where the wood deck meets the pool deck. It doesn't meet the requirements to be a standalone pool fence (the deck railings are too low, etc.), but it gives us peace of mind that if our young daughter were to get out of the house, she would have a tough time getting to the pool.
When we bought the house, we had to have a heating oil tank removed from the ground that happened to be underneath part of the deck. Long story short, that part of the deck (and the railing/pool fence associated with it) had to be removed, and we are now putting a patio in that area. Without getting into all the details, we are having a problem with what kind of fencing to use to separate the patio from the pool.
Separating these two areas is very important to us, as we want to have the entire pool fenced separately from the other outdoor areas for child safety. Again, we already have a code-compliant fence for the yard, so this is purely a safety issue.
One kind of fencing that seems like it might work is temporary child fencing, like Protect-a-Child. Questions:
- Anyone here have this kind of fencing?
- Do you like it?
- Does it truly enhance safety?
- Is it as easy to install/remove as the videos make it seem?
- Is it truly maintenance free?
- Does it stand up to daily life well? Kids messing with it, dogs jumping on it, wind, etc.?
- Any brands you recommend?
Thanks for your help!
