Why Do You Need A Pool Fence?
The mercury is rising and the kids are clamoring for a dip in the pool. It's lucky that you have one of your very own in your backyard. Instead of having to pack the family up and drive to the nearest public pool, you get to stay home and enjoy your own private version. There are lazy Sundays wading in the water, holiday parties the start with a splash and family gatherings around the water. You've turned your yard into a suburban oasis, complete with the perfect patio set and a deck that everyone adores. But that's not all you need. If you have a backyard pool you need a fence. Why? Take a look at the reasons why you need a fence around your pool, and why a custom-built version is a popular pick.
Sneaky Safety
When it comes to children and pool safety, you know there's absolutely no substitute for adult supervision. Even though you closely watch your kids as they play in the yard and in the pool, it's not out of the realm of possibilities that they'll try to sneak a swim. Maybe you're in the kitchen cooking, and think that the kids are playing in the living room. But they're really sneaking out the door and jumping into the pool. A fence that locks can keep young children out of the area, adding an extra layer of security.
Keep in mind, a security fence only adds one more step that the kids have to get through. It can't ever guarantee complete safety – nothing can. That's what close supervision is for.
Intruder Protection
The neighborhood teenagers think that running through your yard and jumping into your pool is hilarious. Obviously, you don't feel the same way. Even though a full-grown teen can hop over a fence, the fact that some kind of security structure is separating the pool from the rest of the yard may give intruders pause. The more difficult it is to get into the pool, the less likely it is that anyone you don't want there will try.
Custom Options
A standard fence that you buy at the DIY home improvement store might not cut it when it keeps to keeping the kids (and anyone else) out. You need a climb-resistant fence for extra safety. Again, a 'climb-resistant' fence doesn't mean that it's climb-proof. Nothing is.
A custom fence may offer a better option that gives you added peace of mind. At least, in comparison to a store-bought version. When it comes to pools and kids, you need a fence that is at least 4 feet tall and has no possible foot or handholds, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The fence also shouldn't have spaces or gaps greater than 4 inches between vertical slats. Any larger and a child could climb through or get their head stuck.
Working with a custom welder allows you to design a fence that provides maximum security and has the safety features you need. Not only will the fence add to your pool's security, but it will also add to your yard's appearance. Yes, you need a fence for safety's sake. But that doesn't mean you have to give up on the space's aesthetics. A custom wrought iron fence adds a classic sense of beauty to your outdoor oasis, while still giving you peace of mind.
