I know one of your children is special but I have to agree with Tim on this. A child fence is impenetrable, but only if you are diligent in keeping it closed when not in use. We had one up for the first 2.5 years of our little guys life, just in case, and we NEVER had a close call.

He has spent 2 summers in swimming lessons and now can swim anywhere in the pool, at 4.5 years old, he is not allowed in the pool unsupervised, he knows this and abides by it. He has been swimming since he was 2 years old.

How are you planning on securing the spa? A 1-3 year old can just as easily drown in a spa as well.

Regardless, You do nice work, I would not want to tackle a project like that, I would rather be swimming in it with the kids.
