There must be some barrier between pool and yard to prevent some toddler from falling in the pool. So it isn't to keep those Florida alligators out of the pool? At one time we were considering buying a winter home on Sanibel, which was substantially below the going rate for similar homes. My investigation disclosed that the house had been built on an alligator nest, and the gators kept returning, breaking through the screen. we did not buy. A screened-in pool enclosure allows you to be on the pool deck without being bothered by mosquitoes and other insects, and prevents a lot of debris from getting in the pool, but the underlying reason is that it's a law to have it protected. The doors to my pool enclosure have handles about 5 feet off the ground so a child can't open the door. Tell that to a smart child with an inquiring mind. There is always a way. Sadly you are right. -- PeterN |

The sun is much hotter outside the screen. As an aside, did you ever wonder how they replace a torn screen panel on the top? The panels last about 5 years before they start to deteriorate. The repairman walks and hops across the beams to replace the screens. I once asked, "did you ever fall into a pool?" He said, "once, but there wasn't any water in it." Here's 30 seconds of him in action: http://mhmyers.com/new/htsm.mp4 -- m-m www.mhmyers.com |

I understand that pool covers are often put on in late fall and removed in the spring up north. Memorial Day weekend seems to be the time most people I know remove their covers and get their pools ready for summer. The covers keep all sorts of muck from getting in the pool over the fall and winter. |

A winter cover, to keep out dirt and snow, is not the same as a removable cover, that keeps the water n the pool warm. -- PeterN |
