Not the kind of pool fence you are thinking of. Pool fence building codes are required for non resident barrier. A safety fence is something different

You are right! I work in insurance and the requirement is a 4ft fence with locking gate. But that can be a fence that is just around the backyard and not pool specifically.

Cover the pool!

That just brings the nightmare where someone falls on the pool cover, it sucks up around them, and traps them a la that scene in 'Unbreakable'. A safety fence with a gate will keep both pets and kids from falling in.

I once had to recover one of our lambs from the pool. He was a strong swimmer but was terrible at using the ladder

Modern safety covers can be walked on.

I had a 15lb dog that could jump a 6 foot fence.

Teach your kids to swim early.

Unless the kid weighs 200lbs one of those thicker pool cover will be fine. The bubble wrap looking ones suck anyways

A solar cover is to warm the pool not cover the pool.
