The yard is fenced. The current cover will not work for me long term.
I HAVE to do / buy something else. Perhaps I have no choice but to
install a safety cover... but... there is a product called EZ-Deck...
it comes in 5 ft sections, I am certainly able stack these in my yard
for 3 months out of the year... Still waiting for someone give me a
valid reason why this would not work...

BTW does anybody know how much these EZ-Deck sections cost?
