Removable Pool Fence
During the summer, there’s nothing quite like a refreshing dip in a swimming pool. However, having a private pool in your home can pose a significant safety risk for children. In fact, a majority of childhood drownings in pools occur in the child’s own home pool, while about a third of incidents happen in the homes of relatives, friends, or neighbors. Statistics show that most near-drownings and drownings take place during the summer and late spring, with the highest number of fatal incidents occurring in the western and southern regions of the country. Unfortunately, drowning is the leading preventable cause of death for children aged one to four. With so many homes having swimming pools, it’s crucial to understand how to keep your children safe. That’s why we’re excited to share an exclusive look at Guardian’s Removable Pool Fencing Options.
Removable Pool Fencing
Installing a fence around your pool is the safest measure you can take according to Becky Turpin, the NSC director of home community safety. A pool fence puts in place a barrier that will keep your kids out of the pool. You should note, that it won’t replace parental supervision. The gates of the fence should be designed in such a way that they open outward away from the pool area. More so, the gates should be self-latching and self-closing. Despite the lack of federal pool-fence law, several cities and states have come up with their laws that state fence requirements and specifications such as the minimum height. Many building codes will require you to have a Permanent Pool Fence. In this case, Removable Pool Safety Fencing won’t be a good option for you.

Why is Our Pole the Safest Option?
A common assumption with many pool owners is that all pool fence poles are similar. Well, this is not true. We matched our poles against other pool fence poles and found out that ours are stronger. See the video. Aluminum poles can break easily even when the pressure or force is too much. However, our Premier Pole proved that it doesn’t break. Thanks to this resilience, you can expect a safe pool barrier that can take bumping up against it by children or adults leaning on it during parties.

The pool fence will remain intact even with daily use and any weather, whether it is sunny, rainy, or cold.
Benefits of Installing Self Closing/ Self Locking Gates
Self-closing or self-latching gates offer better protection as they close themselves automatically. Therefore, if there are people in the house and you forget to close your gate, you’ll still be assured of their safety. The gate should swing outwards or away from the pool. The benefits of the self-closing gate is that you don’t have to close or lock these gates physically. Thus, they are safer in instances when you have to suddenly leave the pool area. You get a phone call or something. Please note, our No Holes Pool Fence doesn’t come with a gate. If you’d like a gate it is possible, but you will have to drill holes for it.
How High Does a Pool Fence Need to Be?
Well, pool fences are generally 4 to 5 feet high, depending on the user’s request. For average toddlers, a 4-foot high fence is the minimum advisable option. Our fences have no top cross bar, so it is very difficult for young children to climb over. Please make sure you will keep patio furniture far away from the pool, kids can use that to get over the fence.
How Far Apart Are the Fence Poles Supposed to Be?
Fence poles are mostly used to strengthen the tension in the removable pool fence. Thus, the less they are apart, the better the strength they will be. We designed our pool fence poles 36 inches apart and our fence comes in 12 feet sections.
What is the Best Mesh Material?
Many manufacturers today use polyester mesh with a vinyl coating when designing fence mesh. It’s like a continuous basket weaved through to ensure sturdy construction. Thus, it makes the pool fence strong and sturdy. The vinyl coatings can resist mildew which makes them easy to clean.
Should I Have a Bordered Mesh?
Yes. For complete safety, ensure that the four sides of your mesh have borders. This gives your fence a finished look and prevents the mesh from unraveling. You want to make sure that the mesh is strong and won’t sag with time.
Remember that children are fast learners and can quickly learn to open and close doors. Therefore, a pool fence will add an extra layer of protection around your home.
