While reviewing my home insurance the GEICO rep said a fence might be needed around the pond for liability reasons like a pool. Anyone face similar issues?

From a safety viewpoint and preventing accidental slip into the pond I can see the merit. However the cost to fence it off & visual ugliness makes me say maybe not.

Any other viewpoints?
