Install a Pool Fence This Summer
At Myers Fencing, we know that there’s nothing like a nice dip in a swimming pool on a hot summer day. It’s incredibly convenient if the pool is in your backyard. Unfortunately, pools can be hazardous if they are not adequately secured. The good news is that pool fences today are available in a wide variety of designs and styles to keep your pool secure and look fabulous while doing it.
We’ve put together a list of eight reasons why you should get a pool fence.
- Safety is the primary reason to have a pool fence. Young children and those who cannot swim are at a higher risk of drowning should they accidentally fall into the pool. A quality pool fence adds a layer of security that can save you some worry.
- Do you like your neighbors seeing you in a bathing suit? If the answer is “no,” a pool fence is the perfect solution. We offer high-privacy pool fencing that meets BOCA Pool Safety Code Standards to keep your pool secure and your backyard private.
- Having a fence around your pool is frequently required by local law. The numerous safety hazards involved with having an unsecured pool make a pool fence a practical idea even if it’s not legally necessary. If you need to get your property up to code, call us for a quote.
- A pool fence is just more convenient. It’s not always easy to use a pool cover. You have to replace it after each time you use the pool, and covers can be very cumbersome to place. You also get to enjoy your pool as soon as you feel like swimming. There’s no downtime required to remove a heavy cover.
- It’s much easier to install a pool fence than you may think. Many people believe a pool and fence must be constructed simultaneously, but that’s not at all the case. Our expert installers can work around almost any obstacle or landscaping feature to provide you with a beautiful and secure fence.
- Do you like to save money? We know that we do! Placing a fence around your pool often qualifies you for a discount on your homeowner’s insurance. Ideally, you will be installing a pool fence that locks, so getting your insurance for less should be no problem.
- Pool fences are very flexible in design. Once you have met the minimum height requirement for safety, you can create a fence that is uniquely yours. You can opt for horizontal slats for a rustic look, and mount flower boxes or hang plants on the fence.
- Lastly, a fence will keep your pool off-limits to pets and wildlife. There are not many people who want to share their family pool with the local raccoon populations or the neighbors’ dogs.
