I agree with Waterbear. When we decided to install a pool, I insisted on having a screen enclosue. Not to keep gators out. That's a reporter's overactive imagination. We want the screen to help keep debris out of the pool and to be able to open the house during the 2 or 3 days of non-A/C weather we get each year. Gators can be a problem for lakefront or riverfront homeowners, but nuisance alligators are usually a product of human meddling; i.e.: feeding.
