Pool fencing

Is is something you can easily buy in Spain? I researched temporary fences and all I could find were those industrial/construction fence panels.

In our community the young kiddies are out playing together every day - its just like I used to remember as a child. They're called in when it's time to eat or go to bed, but have so much safe freedom (we have a gated community). And all nationalities mix which is lovely.

This sound perfect and would work very well. Unfortunately I am struggling to find a modern 4-bed 2-bath house with a communal pool. Do you have any tips? We are completely flexible on location - anywhere along the coast between Barcelona and Gibraltar.

unfortunately we chose the wrong one initially & our 2 were the only kids there full time - although July & August were fantastic when the Madrileño & Valenciano holiday home owners came for the summer with their kids

Would you be able to recommend such urb please, the one where people live rather than spend their holidays in? It is hart to tell from pics on Kyero. Thank you.

I don't think it was anything very professional they constructed - just some fencing from aki or Leroy Merlin (like Wickes or Homebase)...

I think you need to come over and have a look at a few areas. Barcelona to Gibraltar is a HUGE area!!! Once you know where you'd like to locate yourself, you can start looking at specific urbanisations....
