I normally do not respond to either trial users especially multiple thread starters but fencing your pool is AN ABSOLUTE MUST! I'm amazed you were able to pass inspection without a 4' high difficult-to-climb fence, and self-closing gate with a child-proof latch. Most communities require that, and your HO insurance probably won't cover the pool without it.

Plus the danger to your little boy is EXTREME! There are far too many drownings of small children throughout North America. Appearances be damned! Nothing is uglier or sadder than a dead child floating in a swimming pool!

FENCE YOUR POOL!
