Durable Residential Pool Fences - Vinyl & Wood Options

Taking Care of Your PoolWhen you have an outdoor pool, debris will naturally collect in it. Tree leaves fall, dirt gets blown in, and insects find their way into the water. Typically, this debris is cleaned out first with a long-handled net known as a skimmer, and also through the use of your pool’s plastic collection basket. Anything that sinks to the bottom will need a pool vacuum to remove. Pools should be vacuumed every week.The water level of the pool needs to be checked and maintained. Splashing and evaporation will do its part, and not replacing the water can damage your pump. Why do most homeowners not empty their pool in winter? The water’s weight helps counteract the force of the ground pushing up.Modern pools are easier to take care of when it comes to maintaining proper pH levels and chemicals, but you will still need to routinely check and add solutions as necessary.Residential Pool Fencing that Meets RegulationsThere is currently no national standard regarding pool fences. Instead, ordinances and regulations vary state-by-state. The majority of states have at least some requirements in place that stipulate how high the fence must be, how the gate locks, and how far apart the pickets can be.The CPSC has a downloadable PDF of recommendations that include making sure that outdoor fences are 48 inches high, and ensuring that they lack footholds children could use to climb over. Spacing of pickets is recommended to not exceed 1.75 inches. Above-ground pools should have both a fence for safety, as well as a removable ladder or a ladder blocked off by a secure barrier. Pool fence gates should have a locking mechanism, and should be self-latching and self-closing.Adding to the Value of Your PropertyOur pool fences secure and add to the beauty and value of your home.
