In a fenced SF backyard can an electric pool cover be used in lieu of a child fence?
fatboy, the code says where a wall of a dwelling serves as part of the barrier. If a fence encloses the entire property including the house would not the walls of the house still be considered as part of the barrier to the pool from the house (where the kids are)? Wouldn't all the doors in the house need alarms then?
What happens if the cover is not deployed or there is a power outage?In a fenced SF backyard can an electric pool cover be used in lieu of a child fence?
An occasional drowning is to be expected. That justifies having the barriers. Take away the drownings completely and people will scoff at the barrier codes. It's like car wrecks and fires....the last thing society needs is no wrecks or fires. Think of what that would cost in lost revenue for the insurance industry..What happens if the cover is not deployed or there is a power outage?
