Even when they have the best of intentions, people who have a removable mesh pool fence often take them down, especially when they have a party.

This removes one of the layers of protection around your pool, especially if the party moves inside, you forget to put the mesh pool fence back up completely, and a young child gets out of the house and into the pool.
