A Guide to Creating a Safer Pool Area With A Pool Safety Fence

There can be nothing more pleasing and relaxing than a dip in a pool on a hot day. But you don’t want to enjoy a pool in any way if it doesn’t have a Pool Safety Fence. When you install a fence around your pool, it works as a highly effective method to make your swimming pool a safe place for everyone. The following guide emphasizes on the importance of such a fence in any home and how you can enhance the overall safety.

Never Compromise on Safety

The need for pool safety has become so common that governments have laid down regulations related to it. Your local and state law will also have some of these requirements related to Pool Safety fence:

  • The fence should be fixed in a way that children cannot climb over it.
  • Avoid installing a pet door in your pool’s fence because it can be used by children too.
  • It will be best to install door alarms so that you are alerted every time anyone accesses the pool area.

A Pool Safety fence is first and foremost meant to add to the pool area’s safety. Aesthetics should be a secondary concern.

Additional Requirements by Law

Many jurisdictions will have codes that further lay down standards for Pool Safety fence:

  • A pool fence should not be less than 4 feet in height.
  • Make sure that the doors and gates are self-closing and self-latching. The lock should not be accessible by children.
  • The fence should not have any pattern or design that allows a child to climb over or get under. There should be no gap between different units of the fence to allow anyone to get through.

Even when your Pool Safety fence is fixed, you should check the fencing, latches, posts, and the alarms regularly to ensure they are in good condition.

Before you choose your Pool Safety fence, make sure to check with your local government agency that lays down swimming pool and building codes. Also visit their website. It is not just a place to check the regulations, their website can also provide you valuable tips on handling emergency situations involving swimming pool and water.

Additional Tips for Pool Safety

Installing a Pool Safety fence is one of the most crucial steps to ensure a safer pool. There are many other steps you should be taking to protect children, pets and people around your swimming pool.

Some of these steps can include the following:

  • Make sure to have rescue equipment readily available within the pool area. It should be easily accessible and well maintained.
  • The pool must also be protected with a rigid pool cover that protects anyone who falls over.
  • It will be worth installing an underwater motion alarm too.

You can never be sure as to how and when a pool accident may occur despite your best efforts. So you should not only install a Pool Safety fence, but take all possible steps to make your pool a highly safe area for everyone.

Color Variations

Colors on your screen or brochure may not match the actual color of your product.

Due to the many variations in monitors, phones, and browsers, color samples and product examples may appear different on different screens. Computers and mobile devices are not all calibrated equally and color reproduction on the Internet is not precise. The same is true for printed items such as brochures and other sales literature. 

In addition, the colors of our products photograph differently under different lighting conditions. For example, photos taken in full sunlight will vary from photos taken on a cloudy or overcast day. Similarly, shadows from nearby objects can affect the color and transparency of our products. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.

Colors will vary from batch to batch.

Many of our products’ materials are not available through typical stores and vendors and therefore must be custom manufactured specifically for our use. In order to control costs and provide you with the best value possible, our raw materials are produced in large batches and can often take several months to receive. The colors of our materials can, and often do, vary slightly from batch to batch. Although we make every effort to minimize color variations, we cannot be responsible for these differences when they occur. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.

Color names are subjective and may not be what you think the color should be.

For example, we use the name “putty” to describe some of our products. Your idea of the color “putty” may be different than someone else’s idea of “putty”. In addition, products may have the same color name but may not be the exact same color. For example, we have different shades of “black”. Please do not order using color names as your only guide. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.

Inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.

If it is important that your product be an exact color or shade, it is highly recommended that you inspect the actual product prior to its installation and address any concerns with your local independent installer. Most independent installers do not offer refunds or accept returns due to color variations.
