Product Description

Pool Fencing is the superior swimming pool barrier for the safety of children and pets. Purchasing safety pool fencing for your swimming pool is an investment in the safety of your family and your neighbors. Pool fencing is a safe method of ensuring child doesn't drown in a swimming pool. Having decided to purchase swimming pool fencing, you are now confronted with a series of choices about types of fencing to buy. You'll want to consider aesthetics, security, strength, UV and rust protection and budget. Budget is determined primarily by the materials used and the required length, as most types of fencing will accommodate various shapes. Here is a brief description of types and features of available swimming pool fencing: Wire Mesh pool fencing: Designed to be climb-resistant, wire pool fencing is an attractive option because it is transparent and easily removable. It can be used with automatic or manual gates and locks. Look for fiberglass or aluminum support posts for rust-proof, maintenance-free mesh fencing. Aluminum pool fencing: Strong, attractive, and durable, aluminum pool fencing can be installed by do-it-yourself with relatively little time and frustration. There is a huge variety of styles, heights, colors, and grades available, so doing your homework will ensure that you are happy with your choice. It can provide a rich complement to landscaping when incorporated into garden design. Aluminum fencing will not rust, chip or crack. Steel pool fencing: Aluminum fencing is a common substitute for steel fencing because of its lighter weight, but some homeowners still prefer the look of steel, or wrought-iron, fencing. Though expensive, it's a popular choice when a homeowner installs a pool and wrought iron is already featured in other areas, because of the desire to match materials. Both aluminum and steel pool fencing can be powder-colored in a variety of colors. Vinyl pool fencing: Vinyl pool fencing sections are typically purchased in eight-foot sections, which are easily cut down to accommodate the required size. Vinyl offers a clean, fresh look and is maintenance-free and inexpensive compared to wood or metal fencing. Look for an aluminum insert in the bottom rail, which provides additional stability and is especially useful if you live in an area where high winds occur. Above ground pool fencing: As you would expect from the name, this type of fencing is specific to above-ground pools. While some people make the mistake of believing that children can't climb into an above ground pool from the ground, the creativity and curiosity of children means that installation of a fence on your above-ground pool is just as important as it is for an in-ground pool. It also provides additional privacy when you use your pool. Above ground pool fence is typically available in 24- or 36-inch height and made of taupe or white vinyl, also known as resin. Vinyl's advantages include being lightweight but sturdy, as well as rust-proof and maintenance-free. Easy to install, resin fencing for above-ground pools is purchased in sections. Molded mounting brackets make installation easy and provide a strong barrier. Look for molded caps and stainless steel hardware for an attractive appearance. Fence/deck and ladder/step connection kits are also available. You may have options to consider when buying a swimming pool gate as well. Self-locking gates are available, or you can select a gate lock that requires a key or combination. If you choose the latter, look for a lock you can use from both sides of the gate for extra security and convenience. Whatever lock you choose for your gate, be sure it's secure and that every adult family member, as well as older children in the family, understands when and how to use it. Pool Fencing can be used in combination with other measures to keep your swimming pool safe, such as pool alarms and safety covers. But Pool Fencing is the superior swimming pool barrier for the safety of children and pets.
