This is the kind of hysteria that has fallen on us.

I think if you reread my post, you will notice a distinct lack of
hysteria. In fact, I tried to provide some reasonable explanation and
justification for my suggestions.

You need a 48"
fence with a self closing, self latching gate around your pool but 5'
away there is a sea wall and a dock out over the river that don't need
any protection at all. I guess it is chorinated water that is
dangerous.

And speaking of hysteria, perhaps if you provided some better
justification for your ideas you wouldn't have to resort to nonsense
and exaggeration.

Salt warter is benign.
I think the fence only makes the pool safer because it keeps the
alligators that live in the river, out of the pool.

only because so many childern die in pool accidents every year. before
the fencing regulations it was much worse.........

if you have the money for a pool then you can afford a proper fence...

kids are more attracted to pools since going in is what people do..
