Default My pool. Any reason that....

We don't have pool fly screens in Australia ?

I used to travel to the states a lot and many of the pool areas were basically enclosed by fly screens all round and overhead. So you could sit outside in your alfresco and pool area and not get eaten by hordes of ravaging mozzies.

Anyone got any idea why we don't embrace this ? Am seriously thinking about getting someone to do this this winter ready for Spring so I can sell my shares in Aeroguard and use my outdoor setting all the time.

I think they would be great here - also would stop leaves and give a bit of shade. Maybe you should start a trend.

Great idea - I think they are called Lineye / Linae. (Never seen the word written down - only ever heard it.)

Given the cost of pools these days, I guess people of avoiding the extra cost of steel framework and wire mesh.

You can get them here.. but I've never seen one
