According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention drowning is the second leading cause of death for children 1-14 years old and an extensive study found that 1-3 years olds made up 75 percent of the children involved in swimming pool submersion and/or drowning accidents. Protecting children from drowning or becoming submerged in a backyard swimming pool requires more than just a single safety device or barrier so just a fence is not enough but it should definitely be installed. In many areas of the country having a pool fence is required by law.
A pool fence should be high enough to prevent resourceful children from easily climbing over and sturdy enough to keep kids from breaking through the fence in pursuit of their goal. A gate that locks instead of just latching is recommended. Don't underestimate the resourcefulness of children they will try to get through anything.
There are many options available including metal mesh wood and plastic swimming pool fences. Metal is reliable and durable for longevity. Wood fences are eye-catching but may need repairing or painting every few years. Mesh fences are another popular option because they are removable. This is the most economical and efficient for those homeowners with swimming pools where fence needs are temporary.
Homeowners who are unsure of the best choice should speak to their Swimming Pool Service or the local expert at the swimming pool supply store. Being educated on safety and security should be top priority. Pool owners must make sure to follow all the safety measures to keep everybody happy and safe. Pool Fence and Pool Barrier companies should not simply wait for their phone to ring - they need to take the initiative and reach out for new business.
