Unfortunately I couldn't agree with not covering it in some way. It won't be your child that drowns as they will know the dangers but what about when friends/family visit. My 3 year old views the garden as an obstacle course and his ingenuity of getting up/over/through things makes me proud - little scamp  |
I agree, you cannot take chances with children's lives an accident only has to happen once.
