How many of you who have towers in your yard have an anti-climbing shield
around the lower 6 feet or so of the tower to prevent neighborhood kids
from doing Tarzan impersonations on your tower?


Surely only a necessity if the tower is not in an enclosed area. Criminal
trespass laws can be used to prosecute persons entering an enclosed or
fenced area of private property. Or you could probably legally shoot them in
Texas. :-)

Failing that, a few feet of chequer plate padlocked to the tower will
generally do the trick.

That may work in a few states for adults, but not for kids.

If it would attract an 8 year old, and they climb it and fall off,
guess who gets sued.

A couple of sheets of plywood is a lot cheaper than getting sued.


In Georgia, if there is a swimming pool in the enclosed area, it is
considered an 'irresistible temptation' or something to that effect
for kids.
