Pool Fences
A swimming pool fence is a type of fencing that is placed around a pool, usually to prohibit access to the pool by certain groups of people. One of the most common uses of these fences is to restrict access by small children who may not yet know how to swim, thus preventing drowning or other accidents. Pool fencing is usually built in a manner that will not allow access between the fencing and built tall enough so as to discourage someone from climbing over it. Pool fencing can be used in both commercial and residential properties and these fences must include a self-latching mechanism to be compliant with most state mandates.
Residential
Residential pool fences are generally built of light weight material, such as mesh, aluminum, vinyl and, for a more modern touch, glass. These fences are usually not as tall as commercial pool fencing, but still offer the same benefits. Residential pool fencing will deter uninvited guests (including animals) from using your beautiful pool and it will protect any small children or pets from accidentally ending up in the water. We offer several different solutions and are happy to work with you on choosing the exact right material and look for whatever your pool space needs.
Commercial
Commercial pool fences are, most commonly, built from heavier material, such as iron, that will hold up for longer periods of time and through more traffic than residential fences. Commercial pool fencing is built to withstand all different kinds of weather conditions and is, generally, easy to clean and care for. Metal fencing deters outside guests from using your pool by presenting a physical barrier that is often not easy to penetrate or climb over. These types of pool fencing can be used with a simple self-latching lock or with an electronic lock, requiring a “fob” or other such device to open.
Why Choose Fencing
A common question we get is: “why choose fencing over a pool cover?” The answer to this is really quite simple; while pool covers are great at keeping out debris and smaller animals from the pool, they don’t prohibit access to your pool area. Furthermore, pool covers aren’t fool proof and have been known to not be able to support much weight. What this means is that if a small child were to get on to the cover, there is no guarantee that the cover would protect them from accidents. These covers also are not tamper proof and could result in unwanted peoples still accessing your pool.
Benefits of Using Professionals
While there are some fencing solutions that can be put up on your own, the benefits of using professionals, especially in pool fencing, far outweighs the cost. Because these fences are usually put up for safety (to prevent accidental drowning), using professionals, like us, ensures that the fence will be as sturdy as possible, thus preventing tragedy. We also know all local building codes and, thus, we can guarantee that your new fence will be built completely correctly the first time and will stand for years to come.
