Solar Cover and Liability Issues?

[medvampire]

I know I would beat my boys for going in uninvited and not telling me where there at. I have a lockable gate on mine and planning to put in some security cams. The cams will be hooked into a pc that will record when movement is present. We are about to get some new peps next door and I think I will have problems with their kids. The parents drive truck and will not be home days at a time and the kids are 19 and 15. The act like little crooks and I want video for the parents and local law enforcement.

I also think it would be appropriate to provide some additional barrier on the pool itself, such as a locking ladder, signs saying "No Tresspassing - Violators Will Be Prosecuted" or something like that. Got a dog in the back yard?

There is a doctrine in civil liability which deals with minors and "attractive nuisance" items on your property, basically stating that ...if you build it, they will come. So, you need to do EVERYTHING to show that you tried to avoid the possibility of injury, even if they tresspass.

We are lucky enough to live in the country, but have relatives living close enough for their grandchildren to wander over occassionally - we have a locking ladder which will work for now as they are young.

Get a big dog that you train to be in the yard, it's my prevention, no one sets foot on my land even though he's the biggest suck.

I have a 4 ft fence with locks on both gates but have kids running around from the neighborhood. I know it is only a matter of time until I find them or evidence of them in the pool area.
