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: How can you heat a pool without a heater?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have the budget for one, there are numerous ways to warm up your pool without a heater. You can improve the insulation, use solar covers to trap heat from the sun, or even let a black hose sit in the sun until it heats up and delivers fresh, warm water straight to your pool.</p></div>

Q: What is the safest pool fence material?

• <div><p>Mesh and tempered glass are both very safe pool fencing options because they&rsquo;re difficult to climb. You might also want to consider installing a pool safety net, and always make sure your pool is maintained properly. You could even consider a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-swimming-pool-enclosure.htm">swimming pool enclosure</a> that surrounds the pool on all sides.</p></div>

Q: What should I consider when deciding to build an in-ground pool?

• <div><p>There are many factors to consider when building an in-ground concrete pool. This includes the pool&rsquo;s primary purpose (relaxation or exercise) if you live in a warm or cold climate (how often it&rsquo;ll be used), and if you have the budget for chemical treatments and pool maintenance. In-ground pools are often more costly than aboveground pools, but they&rsquo;re considered more luxurious and hold more value.</p></div>

Q: Are pool enclosures worth it?

• <div><p>If a pool enclosure will cut down on your to-do list and encourage you to throw more pool parties, then it is often worth the cost. They can cut down on monthly pool maintenance, extend your swimming season, and even make the poolscape safer. Some more permanent pool enclosures can even work in tandem with your heater to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-heat-pool.htm">keep your pool warm</a>. </p></div>
