Pool Safety Fence Options
Nothing can take the place of adult supervision of a swimming pool, especially when children are around. Accidents resulting from unauthorized access to swimming pools account for hundreds of deaths every year. To provide effective pool safety and security, homeowners need products made specifically for that function. The many varieties of standard fencing —designed and manufactured for applications other than pools — are not adequate to the task. They are easy for little ones to climb and may be pushed over or pried apart. A quality mesh pool safety fence, purpose-built to prevent unattended access to your pool, is one vital element in a strategy of total pool safety.
Pool safety fences are made of woven polyester mesh. With its high tensile strength, polyester mesh can withstand pressure of up to 300 pounds per square inch. The aluminum fence poles are regularly spaced and mounted into inserts embedded in holes drilled into the surface surrounding the pool. The fence segments of polyester mesh are installed under substantial tension, which enhances structural stability and sturdiness.
The tight polyester mesh of a safety fence provides no toeholds or finger holds, making the fence climb-resistant, especially by children. The tension of the mesh is sufficiently tight to prevent spreading or prying, keeping not only children but small animals and pets out of the pool area, as well. In darker colors, polyester mesh is virtually transparent, allowing full visual observation of pool activities from all sides.
Many mesh fences offer options such as self-closing and self-latching gates. Additionally, each segment of the fence is connected to adjoining segments by a child-proof latch, allowing individual segments — or the entire fence — to be readily removed at any time in order to open the pool area up for parties or special occasions. Fence segments which are removed are easily rolled up for compact storage.
Pool safety fences are available in a variety of colors. Black polyester mesh is the most transparent, but other dark colors offer varying degrees of transparency. Colors can be chosen to fit the landscape of the locale. For example, in locations like Las Vegas or Arizona, earth tones like brown are very popular. Powder coated fence poles in matching colors are available for all pool safety fences. Installing a mesh pool safety fence upgrades security, improves peace of mind and enhances the aesthetics of your entire pool area.
