Have you seen this video yet? A 2-year-old scales "unclimbable" pool gate to an above ground pool. The gate locks in place over the ladder, and its purpose is to prevent young children from scaling it — not a good design.

A pool cover, on the other hand, can collect dangerous amounts of water and then becomes unsafe for young children. It takes less than 2 inches of water to cause drowning.
And don't forget to do the same for other water sources, such as spas and landscape water features.
If you have any thoughts on the subject or experiences that you would like to share, I would love to hear from you.
Love the water but fence it in,
