The reason someone would want a fence around the pool in the first place is to keep babies and small pets from going into the pool unnoticed and drowning. None of the elements in your video address that. You’re simply making the point (from what I gathered) that having a fence around the pool is a poor design choice. True as that may be, you’re not proposing a better design option to keep small kids and pets playing in the yard from getting into the pool.
Completely agree. This is a design choice offer to clients to make sure they get the most use and comfort from their outdoor spaces. Each family must make the fence location decision based on their family situation.
They seem more concerned about what it looks like than the actual safety of children and animals. This is a good design for a family with older children, not ones the age that can play on the play area. This is very irresponsible for the company to advertise that they recommend not actually fencing the pool.
@@AprilSmith Thank you for your comment I understand your concern. You are right, the choices really up to the individual homeowner. Not one size fits all. Wish you the very best on your journey!
You said the Building Codes. Some codes will require the openings like doors and windows that lead to the pool area to be at minimum set up with an Alarm that cannot be disarmed. This can be annoying during parties when people are constantly going in and out. But again these are regional issues.
What about this idea but if you are on a lake lot? We are very worried about obstructing views with a 4 or 6 ft aluminum fence. Of course we think a pool would be awesome and get us out even more. We have a large beautiful lake lot. Thanks!
Perhaps glass railings could do the trick. They would keep the new preserved and safety barrier in place. They will need a bit more maintenance to keep them clean...
It would be safer to fence in the pool separately from the kids play area. If there are kids playing in that area unattended, then you're recommending an extremely dangerous design.
@@joshuagillow3478 Local codes only protect people outside of your family. Pools should be fenced away from child play areas. Safety is obviously not your priority.

You are correct Steve. Each municipality has thier codes. Do your research first to avoid hiccups later. Thanks for your comment!

April, The cool part is that each homeowner gets to choose the location of their fence as long as it lines up with local codes. To each their own.
