Have a special needs kid that occasionally I'd like to keep in our shallow end of the pool. My idea was to find a net to weave my "safety" rope thru?What do you recommend

That's a great idea and this net would work perfect for that project. It's sturdy enough. Only suggestion it to buy the net a tad larger than the area you need to cover. Net sizes seem to run a little small.

This net is plenty strong for that.I can not pull it apart by hand. Not sure if your application is safe.

No.You will either have to buy string, or velcro straps (if your net does not already have built in hooks)Net is still lasting fine, with lots of use.

I used PVC pipe in holes for my pool. Not sure what you are doing with the net but I got it to use in my pool.

We got the Confer Plastics Access Poolstep. It is very sturdy and has worked very well for our family. We have had it for over a year and it has been great. The initial investment between this and the Enclosure kit was high, more than the pool cost, but was well worth it. We have two active little boys and there is no longer a worry that they can accidently get into the pool. Good Luck!

It would have to be pulled tight. The gague net is pretty thin but very durable. Seems like it might be a difficult task? I'm pretty sure they have std sizes and they may be big for your application, if you have to cut them it could be rather time consuming.

I think it would be a good idea to use something more thicker than a tarp under the pool if you are putting it on concrete.

As others have suggested, strong fishing line would be good but might stretch a bit. Waxed/braided nylon is another option and might not stretch as much.

It's pretty heavy so I recommend a commercial grade reel. http://www.amazon.com/Commercial-Grade-In-Ground-Pool-Solar/dp/B003K1AESO/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1400548015&sr=8-10&keywords=solar+blanket+reel

If it were up to me, I would go with something more robust in terms of leashes. I guess the main question is: how did the leash separate and get lost? My guess is that the clip on the leash broke off. Chances are good that the webbing didn't rip and the child didn't manually disconnect anything (due to anchor placement). In my opinion, your best bet is to get something more robust than the Kid Keeper's included leash can offer. Based on the variety of products in the market that I've tested, I'd say you have two options; the nature of your outings and travel patterns of the child will likely dictate which one would be preferred. The first is a good retractable dog leash. Most manufacturers offer product in a few different weight classes and I recommend the "large dog" range. These are rated for dogs up to 110 lbs. Not only does the webbing provide more tensile strength, but the clasps, pulleys, and handle are all robust enough to restrain a full grown golden retriever, let alone a fired-up toddler making a bee-line for the candy aisle. Should a handheld apparatus such as this not meet your needs, I suggest you go the anchor-to-anchor route. I'm likely butchering the technical terminology, but the fact is that if you use quality climbing rope and 800+ lbs. carabiners on both ends, you can securely cement your child's chest rig to your own full body harness. By employing your own full body harness, you also have the added benefit of a lower center of gravity to offset the child's power to height ratio. Good luck!

Yes, just choose a net with smaller mesh openings and you'll be fine. 1/4inch or smaller! Regards

Sorry. When mine got here, I realized it was a lot smaller than I thought. I used a net that goes all the way down, because the upset of being in such a confined space can sometimes cause the fish to miscarry. They hate. I recommend not using it.

Thank you for the reply. Its just there isnt enough room for me to get a regular ladder for them. I thought the rope would save a space and also allow them to climb. Do you suggest any other product that might be safe and also save space.

I used a bungee cord (rubber) on each side to stabilize the ladder. The ladder was basically placed in between two vertical pool posts. I wrapped the bungee cord around the vertical pool frame post (top) and then hooked the two ends of the bungee cord to the stabilizer bar. Did the same thing on the other side so they sort of end up pulling against each other and stabilized the ladder. Worked really well. Hope this helps!

There has to be a lip to clamp the net to. A pool table would be too thick for that clamping.

No. You can get it tight enough to play. However, you have to be creative when it comes to tightening net. There isn't a hook to wrap around on. You have to pull around pole at the top to get it tight enough.

I have a fiberglass pool with concrete coping. The front roller will come to the coping and levitate there for a few seconds. It will then quit propelling and settle to the bottom. I also have a safety ledge half way in deep end, and has no problem. Excellent product.

I purchased a 9' x 18' retangular pool. You wil need to add 2' to each side minimum. I purchase a screen cover for my pool. It keeps all the insects and trash out. That is the key to low maintance.
