Which One: Pool Enclosure or Pool Fence?

Owning a pool is one of the greatest joys that a homeowner could have. It is a great source of entertainment and it offers a place where you can get a vigorous workout one moment and relax peacefully while floating on a lounger the next. However, owning a pool comes with the responsibility of making the pool area safe. A great way to do this is to install a swimming pool enclosure or a pool fence.

A swimming pool enclosure is one option that will promote safety in the pool area. These swimming pool enclosures completely cover the pool area. They are constructed with a variety of materials including glass, aluminum or fiberglass. Many of these swimming pool enclosures also have metal screening, which allows the fresh air in but keeps bugs and debris out. These swimming pool enclosures will definitely do the job of thwarting unauthorized use of the pool. However, these enclosures can be very costly with installation and upkeep. This is definitely something to keep in mind when choosing an enclosure for the pool area.

A second option is the pool fence. A pool fence is a wonderful and very cost effective option for many pool owners. These fences are also made of a variety of materials including aluminum, fiberglass and tubular steel. Some pool fences are constructed with a durable mesh material that blends in beautifully with the surrounding environment. Another added benefit with the mesh pool fence is that it can be easily removed by the homeowner at will. This is great if you live in an area plagued by hurricanes or other such weather phenomenon. The pool fence, in many cases, may be removed without much effort eliminating the possibility of damage to your investment. Yet, an enclosure, generally, cannot be removed and is, therefore, left to withstand the elements.

This could mean costly repairs or the need to have an entirely new swimming pool enclosure installed. Another advantage to installing a swimming pool fence is that it is less intrusive and allows you to enjoy the natural environment while controlling access to the pool area. Pool fences are well constructed and very strong, which should offer peace of mind if there are pets or small children in the home. They can even be secured at the entry points with locks for added security and peace of mind. Furthermore, there are pool fences that are specifically designed for pets. These fences greatly reduce repairs caused by the claws of determined furry family members, as well as prevent unauthorized entry into the pool area that could potentially lead to tragic consequences.

Whether you choose a swimming pool enclosure or a pool fence, it is one of the most important investments that you will make as a pool owner.
