even though it's really a year premature, we'll very likely put up a fence to protect the baby this year. our approach will be NOT to worry about absolute safety but to have enough to "slow the kid down". we figure by the time she's old enough to climb over she'll be a fish in the water anyways

we're going to put a 3ft fence around the pool area. i think correctly, this should be plenty to have some security. if she's outside, we will be as well. she won't be able to get through and we'll ensure she learns that she is not allowed in without us being there -- this message will be drilled into her head

our solution will be purchased online from this guy:

real friendly guy, knows his stuff. if you decide to talk with him, tell him "bernie from windsor" gave the referral

his product is of slightly (very minor differences) lower quality than what we could get in town but his pricing is good.

hope this helped ...
