Pool fences come in a variety of colors and shapes.
Maryland, as of just a few days ago, is now allowing COVID-19 vaccinations for all teens and adults over the age of 16. This means that if everyone gets vaccinated soon, most Marylanders should be fully vaccinated by the summer months. And you know what that means– summer pool parties will be in full swing again! While the hype will be very high for your pool party, there’s also a lot of safety precautions one must take. Installing a metal or iron pool fence is one of the best ways to protect not only your pool from outsiders but also your party guests. Here are some reasons to start thinking about introducing a pool fence to your yard this year.
It Keeps People Safe
If you have young children (or clumsy adults) and an inground pool, you know how scary the thought is of them accidentally falling in and injuring themselves. With a pool fence, you won’t have to worry. Pool fences can be accompanied by locked gates, which can keep people out when no one is watching. Plus, they are usually too high for a small child to reach the latch, so they won’t be wandering in any time soon.
Pool Fence Adds Privacy
Let’s face it– while you are surely proud of your impeccable pool, you probably don’t want jealous, nosy neighbors staring you down while swimming and having fun. This can ruin the vibe and make some people seriously uncomfortable. A pool fence can help obscure the sight of others, while everyone within can enjoy their pool fun. There are also different levels of visibility you can install with a pool fence for more or less privacy.
A Pool Fence Keeps Out Trespassers
Sometimes people have no respect for other’s property and may decide to use your pool without permission. While this is against the law, certain people won’t care about the risks. This can cause damages to your pool. A pool fence with a custom lock mechanism can deter potential trespassers from abusing your pool. This also applies to animals. There are lots of crazy critters that come out at night, like frogs, raccoons, rabbits, possums, stray cats, and other nocturnal beings. These animals might mistake your pool for a water source and fall in, and could drown. This is not only messy clean-up but also is very harmful to the pool water. A pool fence can help to keep out unwanted animals. If going with an iron pool fence, try installing a puppy picket.
