Pool Fence for Safety & Protection
JV Fence wants you to know if you have a swimming pool that contains water more than 24" deep, you will need a fence to prevent an unsupervised child from gaining access to it. Your pool fence will need to prevent a child from getting OVER, UNDER, or THROUGH it, plus keep them from entering the pool without your knowledge. Therefore, most city building ordinances have requirements based on guidelines from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Your fence should include a self-closing and self-locking swimming pool gate that opens outward from the pool. There are also guidelines for placement of self-latching devices to prevent a child from reaching over or through the opening to release the lock.
JV Fence recommends selecting a pool fence that not only gives you a clear view from your home or yard, but also provides a safe and secure barrier.
Some types of Pool Fences could be:
- Steel Fences
- Vinyl Fences
- Aluminum Fences
- Composite Fences
- Gates with Latches & Hinges
