How to cover pool to avoid hazard?

[Jeff Cliff]

Hi,

I am rehabbing a house and I have a swimming pool in really bad shape with all kinds of living organisms in it. Right now, I don’t want to spend a lot of money to either remove it or clean it up to make it functional.

I am looking for a way to cover it so it is no longer a hazard for future residents and city officials won’t red tag it. What would be the cheapest and the easiest solution to implement that would last for at least next 5-10 years.

Thank you in advance.
