Swimming pool, blind dog (self.homeimprovement)

I'm moving into a house with a pool in a couple of months. I have a 20# dog who is blind and I'm trying to think of ways to keep her safe. The area from the back door/patio to the pool is all concrete, so installing fencing would require drilling holes. Looking for something temporary that could be removed during parties. I suggested wooden planters spaced every 8+10 feet with a bracket to hold a board. Husband didn't like that. I'm still leaning towards that, but looking for other ideas. Thoughts?

Did he not like the planters or not like the boards about your idea? That was a pretty good idea. You could use strips of vinyl lattice instead of boards. It doesn't need to be a tall fence right?

Vinyl instead of boards also removes any particular spacing requirements.

Right - 8" high would be plenty and she won't try to go under. He does woodworking, so i think he thought i wanted him to build a dozen planters.
