Before you can get started on installing a new pool or fully enjoying your pool, it’s time to think about fences for pool season!
The warmer days and longer nights are finally creeping in and many families are thinking about opening up their pools to enjoy the warmth. Before you can get started on installing a new pool or fully enjoying your pool, it’s time to think about fences for pool season! Many municipalities and states require pool fences before installation, so planning ahead will ensure that you’re taking a dip on Memorial Day. Here are our top picks for fences for pool season and beyond.
Why Are Pool Fences Important?
First off, pool fences are actually required by law in many places before you can even start the pool installation process. Pool fences are a great way to protect your kids and pets from your pool (and vice versa). Unfortunately, countless children and pets are injured or killed by unattended pool time every year. The Consumer Product and Safety Commission suggests that all pool fences should be at least 48 inches high with self-closing, self-latching, child-resistant gates. Shorter gates are easy for children to climb or pets to jump over, and you don’t want that to happen.
Choose Ornamental Aluminum for Your Pool Fence
This pool fencing material is very popular thanks to its awesome durability and stunning elegance. Many homeowners choose to extend their ornamental aluminum fencing throughout the yard thanks to its beauty. Aluminum is coated with a dry powder to prevent any damage from the wet and humid pool environment. Powder-coated aluminum fences are great for protecting fences in pool areas and keeping them from any damage. Iron isn’t typically used around pools since the wet environment causes rust more rapidly.
Ornamental aluminum fencing is loved for its awesome durability, low maintenance, and ability to blend into the surroundings. If low maintenance is your top priority (since your pool requires enough maintenance by itself!), ornamental aluminum fencing is the best fence for pool season.
