Insurance calls for a new fence at the Möckern outdoor pool: What's behind it?

According to a report from www.volksstimme.de, the city of Möckern has built a chain-link fence at the local outdoor pool. This fence was built for insurance reasons, as residents' garden doors theoretically allowed access to the outdoor pool. The head of the construction and public order office for the city of Möckern explained that the fence construction cost around 18,000 euros. The residents criticize the decision because the new fence blocks their escape route across their properties.

This development has potential implications for the fencing construction and maintenance market, as well as the consumer and outdoor swimming pool industry. Fence construction could result in increased demand for fencing materials and installation as other outdoor pools may have similar insurance requirements. This could lead to rising prices and increased competition in the fence market.

For consumers living near outdoor pools, this could mean they may also face similar insurance requirements and be forced to close their garden gates or incur additional costs for fencing construction and maintenance.

For the outdoor pool industry, this could lead to a revision of safety guidelines to meet such insurance requirements and avoid possible legal consequences. This could mean additional costs for the outdoor pool management and possibly increase the entrance fees.

It remains to be seen whether other outdoor pools will take similar measures to meet insurance requirements. However, building a sturdy fence could also improve the protection of outdoor pool visitors and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
