In response to "Wow. -- nm" by mara

here's basically why it happens (inside)

Posted by CQ (aka CQ) May 21 '13, 17:29

we have to pump the pool water down in the fall to expose the return fittings (think pipes underground running into pool wall) so we can get all the water out so pipes wont freeze and break.

Over a snowy winter and rainy fall, pool levels rise and water sifts through the mesh cover making it look like a small pool of clear drinkable water (to the deer)

This pool of water is in the center of the pool, so young deer think they can walk right to it, but get past the edge of the pool, break through the cover with their hooves, and start to panic

This is sad. I thought the cover would prevent that, but sounds like nothing other than a fence would. -- nm - mara May 21, 17:31 3
- We have a seriously huge amount of deer out here and pretty much everyone has a pool, so... -- nm - CQ May 21, 17:34 2
  - And the fences have to be really high. -- nm - nevermind May 21, 17:35 1
    - yep, usually 10 feet -- nm - CQ May 21, 17:37
