I agree that there isn't anything such as a child proof fence.  My daughter and her hubby decided that they she replace the pool fence with a new and so called child proof fence which was costing them $1,700  because their 3 year old daughter was facilitated by the pool. 

 

After the new fence was finished the man was showing SIL the safety catch on the gate.  When Miss  3 came outside too one look at the fence and climbed straight over it, while her fayther and te poolman watched her. .

I'd like to see a pic of the fence.  Was there something there that she stood on?  Were there plants?  There has been a 15 year child drowning study, where children of all ages were watched as they tried and some succeeded to climb over different sorts of fences.  Along with all the other research, our pool fencing laws were passed.

 

Drowning used to be the leading cause of death in under fives in Australia, now it is second after car crashes, because of those pool fence laws.

I don't have a pic of the fence and her parents have sold the house.  There wasn't anything for her to climb on , she is the type of child who could climb up anywhere.  I said that she would be hanging of the rafters if there were any rafters.

The poolman just stood there with his mouth open and said that the bosses wouldn't believe it.

Hi greencat is that Queenstown in Tassie. I have always wondered what it is like.

Swap you my place for your place LOL

I think it's in NZ

I just love this.

I looked this morning at this little grey topic - Gardens.

It looked so forlorn.

Look what you amazing dudes have done with it.

Go guys - MORE GARDENS.

They are the soul of us all.

They are LIVING.

Hi jean,

No, Queenstown in NZ, but I have been to QT in Taz, and (IMO) it comes a really close second, but I am biased   being an expat Kiwi
