______________________________________________

Insurance doesn't care which side faces in or out.

Insurance cares greatly about which side faces out when a pool is concerned.
It's all about liability when someone drowns in the pool even though the drowned person is trespassing and in the pool without permission.

Common sense no longer applies when judges and lawyers are involved.

The insane shite that women was saying to us like "i need to know if they hand nail it or use a nail gun. Nail guns aren't as good of quality" or "i need to really trust the people i am hiring" like a fence needs to be put up by a master tradesmen



You can tell when someone did a google search and read a few reddit posts.

No - Insurance doesn't care which side faces in or out even if there is a pool.

Every HO policy or pool endorsement I have read in my 40 years of claims experience says nothing about which side a fence should face with or without a pool.

I have never had my fence type, orientation, or even existence looked at by my insurance company. Hell, I dont recall them asking about it. I surely havent had rates change based on type or existence.
