Looking Forward to Summer? Install a Pool Fence!

The cold of winter is here, but it won’t be here forever. If you have a swimming pool on your property, you should have a reliable pool fence for safety and legal reasons.

The cold of winter is here, but it won’t be here forever. Before we know it, the warmth and sun of summer will be blazing away, sending you and your family diving into the pool. If that pool is right in your backyard, even better! However, the pleasure of having a pool comes with plenty of responsibility. You have to make sure that everyone is safe around the pool, so at minimum, you will likely need to have a residential fence (it is legally required almost everywhere) to keep strangers out of the pool. You also want to keep your family safe, though, so you should strongly consider the many benefits of a pool fence in addition to a standard residential fence.

Safety

If you have a pool, no matter the size or depth, you need to have a fence for safety. A pool fence will help to keep people who can’t swim from wandering too close to the pool – it is an extra layer of protection for anyone who might be in your yard, especially any young children or pets in your family. Speaking of pets, while many can swim, it is not a given that your family pet would safely make it out of a pool if they fell in. You can design your pool fence to be high enough so that your dog or cat can’t jump it. The pool fence will also help keep other wildlife from falling into the pool as well.

Convenience

A pool fence is much more convenient than a pool cover or net that you have to remember to pull on and then remove again every time you want to use the pool. Simply let the gate close and latch behind you, and the fence is automatically doing the work of keeping people out.

Privacy

A pool fence that encloses just the pool from the rest of the yard can add an extra layer of privacy, depending on its design. This could be a way to offer swimmer privacy from other events happening in your yard, or to simply have privacy in the pool if you don’t have a residential fence on your property line.

Laws and Insurance

In most areas having a fence around your pool is the law so that people can’t access it (intentionally or accidentally). Even if it isn’t the law, it is a good idea to protect you from liability if someone were to slip in and hurt themselves. Depending on your insurance policy, it might also be required to keep your homeowners in good standing. If it isn’t required, having a fence could possibly score you a discount.
