Would you do it again?

The answer is no. We decided this time around to put up a temporary pool fence instead of a pool net like we did in our last house. The net is great because once it's on you never have to worry about the kids getting past it. But the problem is that you need to have the discipline to put it back on every time you take it off. This didn't always happen. The other issue is that you can't clean the pool when it's on. So now our old pool has a nice ring of algae around the edge.

Here's the other side. The pool fence is by Pool Guard.

One of the reasons we went with this company was that they were going to make an additional fence piece that would jut out from the wall a few feet so that you couldn't swing around the fence. You can see the extra fence in this picture.

Nice! I like how your new backyard has some grass. Not a lot but enough for the kiddies to play in. Love the new pool gate. It looks easier to care for that the net.
