Pool fences add a layer of protection, but ultimately, pool covers are safer than fences because they cover the entire pool and not just the surrounding area. Pool covers also offer additional benefits like blocking debris and preventing heat loss and evaporation. A pool cover can also reduce pool maintenance and lower your heating and insurance costs.
