Q: How do I keep animals out of my pool heater?

• <div><p>Small animals, particularly rats and mice, like to burrow inside pool heaters. To keep them out, seal any entry points with caulk or steel wool. Then, place mothballs inside or around your pool heater.

Q: Can a retaining wall be a pool fence?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-retaining-wall.htm">retaining wall</a> can only function as a fence if it&rsquo;s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn&rsquo;t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall. </p></div>

Q: What is the safest pool fence?

• <div><p>The safest pool fence depends on what you&rsquo;re trying to protect against. If you&rsquo;re concerned about children and pets, a fence with gaps between or under the material isn&rsquo;t advisable, as they could get through it. Mesh fences tend to reach the height requirements needed for pool fence safety, although they are not the most durable. Solid fence types, such as wood, concrete, or stone have the best chance of protecting the surface area around a pool, so long as they are high enough to discourage anything, or anyone, from climbing over them. </p></div>

Q: Are pool screen enclosures worth it?

It all comes down to how much you use your pool, and what it would mean to you to have year-round access to it.</p><p>If you know that you'll swim in your pool a lot, then having an enclosure means you don't have to worry about the weather.
