From the point of view of safety without surveillance the pool fence is safer. This is because the fence is always there, with a gate that closes automatically and locks so that toddlers cant open it. A pool safety cover is fine when it is in place however when it is not a toddler can approach the pool and there is nothing that protects him or her when they are not being watched.Another contributorI agree with the above answer, pool fence is definitely the way to go. In fact, in most areas it is law or soon will be. I say it will soon be law is because in December 2007 The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act of 2007 was signed into law. Even if some law does not require it, most insurance companies will make you do it or cancel your policy.
The responsibility will vary with the law of each city. In most cases, a fence will have to be built around the pool.

Research your local city codes. If you are inside the city, you are most likely required to have either a privacy fence OR a safety fence around the pool.
If the fence is parallel and extends 10m from each end of the length of the pool, add 20m to the length of the pool to find the length of the fence; find the width of the fence in the same manner. Hence, 50 + 20 = 70m (length of fence); 25 + 20 = 45m (width of fence). 2(L + W) = Perimeter, so 2 x 115m = 230m perimeter

You have to call your local health dept. to find out what your particular city codes require. I do not think that you can attach a fence to the above ground pool.
