5 Advantages of Installing The Right Fence For Your Pool

  • As a pool owner, safety should always be your top priority. A fantastic method to enhance security in your poolside area is through the installation of a pool fence.

When it comes to owning a swimming pool, safety is of the utmost importance. One way to enhance safety around your pool is by installing a pool fence. A pool fence is a barrier that surrounds the swimming pool and helps to keep children and pets out of the area. In addition to safety, there are several other advantages to having a pool fence installed.

1. Preventing Pests From Entering

One of the significant advantages of having a pool fence installed is that it can prevent unwelcome animals or visitors from entering the pool area. Wild animals, such as mice or frogs, can be attracted to the water in your pool, and the last thing you want is for them to jump in and get hurt. Not to mention unwanted visitors, such as neighbors or strangers, which can cause unwanted responsibility. A fence will ensure that your pool area is protected from such intruders, giving you peace of mind knowing that your pool is safe and secure.

2. Insurance Purposes

Many insurance companies require homeowners to have a fence around their pool to meet safety standards. Some insurance companies will not even provide coverage for a home with a pool unless it has a fence installed. Having a pool fence can also help you receive a discount on your homeowner’s insurance premium. Therefore, installing a pool fence is not only essential for safety, but it can also save you money in the long run.

3. Privacy

Another benefit of having a pool fence is that it can provide you with privacy while enjoying your pool. A fence can help to create a secluded environment, allowing you to relax and spend time with your loved ones without worrying about the prying eyes of neighbors or passersby. This can be especially important if you have a busy street or live in a densely populated area.

4. Aesthetics

A pool fence can also enhance the appeal of your property. A well-designed fence can complement the style of your home and landscaping, making your pool area an attractive and inviting space. A fence can also provide a defined boundary for your pool area, helping to create a sense of relaxation and security in your backyard.

5. Property Value

In addition to safety and aesthetic, a pool fence can also increase the value of your property. Many homebuyers are looking for properties with a swimming pool, and a pool fence can be a significant selling point. A well-maintained pool fence can increase the perceived value of your property, making it more attractive to potential buyers.

Choosing a Pool Fence

When choosing a pool fence, there are several factors to consider, including style, materials, and cost. There are many different types of pool fences available, including aluminum, vinyl, wood, and iron. Each type of fence has its advantages and disadvantages, and it is important to consider your specific needs and preferences when making a selection.

Aluminum pool fences are popular due to their durability and low maintenance requirements. Vinyl fences are also low maintenance and come in a variety of colors and styles. Wooden fences can provide a natural and classic look, but they require regular maintenance to prevent rotting and warping. The beauty of our iron pool fence lies in its elegant and timeless design.

Regardless of the type of fence you choose, it is essential to ensure that it meets safety standards and regulations. The fence should be at least four feet high and should not have any horizontal bars that can be used for climbing. The gate should be self-closing and self-latching, with the latch located high enough to be out of reach of small children.

In conclusion, installing a pool fence is an essential safety feature that can provide several other advantages as well. A pool fence can prevent unwelcome animals as well as intruders from entering the pool area, satisfy insurance requirements, provide privacy, enhance the appeal of your property, and increase its value. When selecting a pool fence, it is important to consult your homeowners’ association and local building code enforcement to be certain that your new pool fence is safe and within guidelines.

High Security Fencing

Maintaining a secure perimeter is your first line of defense against potential threats. A securely installed aluminum fence serves as a visual deterrent backed with heavy metal components that give a higher level of protection compared to traditional alternatives.

Coated Galvanized Steel

All of our metal fences are coated inside and out. Our metal framework is subjected to a multi-stage pre-treatment/wash, followed by a duplex cathodic electrocoat system consisting of an epoxy primer, which significantly increases corrosion protection, and an acrylic topcoat, which provides the protection necessary to withstand adverse weathering effects.

Seamless Design

Our metal fence panels are fabricated through a welding technique that combines laser and fusion technology to create a virtually invisible structural connection at every picket to rail intersection. 

Our team’s expertly crafted construction is unmatched in strength and durability.

Stronger Fencing

Compared to wood, vinyl fencing is much stronger. Vinyl fencing is flexible and durable, which helps vinyl out-perform wood fencing in windy conditions and with environmental exposure to UV rays and weather.

Easy to Clean

Vinyl fencing can be cleaned easily with a regular garden hose. If you get a little mildew from moisture or shady conditions, you can use a mild dish soap and then spray off the fence with a garden hose. Vinyl fences are very easy to clean, making them a great option for low-maintenance fencing.

More Options Available

Vinyl fencing is available in a wide variety of configurations to match any property, home, or purpose. Iconic, white vinyl picket fences give a feel of classic Americana with that white-picket-fence-style. Darker vinyl fences can be installed to make a space look more elegant or modern.
