The newer polyester meshes are also much more resistant to punctures and are virtually impossible for even an adult to rip. The smooth vinyl coatings are mildew resistant and allow easy cleaning of the finished product, unlike the grainy finishes of older style dipped interlocking nylon products that had a tendency to trap both growths and dirt. It is a continuous basket weave construction and is the strongest method today for manufacturing pool safety fences. The majority of removable mesh pool fence manufacturers today use polyester mesh with vinyl coating. We normally recommend 36 inches as a standard. Support poles provide both tension and strength for the temporary pool fencing, so the less distance apart the better. How far apart should the fence support poles be? Since a six-year-old can go over any height fence and the fence is being installed to basically keep them from just falling into the pool by accident, we would recommend a shorter height like 3 1/2 feet as long as this is the only child in the household. We talk to parents moving into a home with a pool for the first time who are nervous about a six-year-old around the pool accidentally falling in. A child with this kind of capability should already be well into a swimming program. It’s just a longer fall down the other side. A child capable of climbing a 4-foot-high fence will most likely also be able to go over 5 feet. For an average toddler we recommend you look at the 4-foot height. Pool fences ranges from 3 1/2 feet to 5 feet high. How high should your pool safety fence be? Be sure that your gate is always installed to swing out or away from the pool or water. Extra care must be taken to ensure that the gate is functioning properly. A self-closing gate and its lock are mechanical devices located outside and subject to corrosion, wear from use, misalignment, and mechanical failure. Because it does not have to be physically closed or locked by the user it is a more practical option when there are older children in the home who have unsupervised access to the swimming pool. Self-closing, self-latching gates are automatic and provide better protection if there are folks in the house that can’t remember to close a gate behind them.

Why install self-closing, self-locking gates? Extra sleeves are placed into the deck at this point to act as pole holders when the “gate” is open. A pool “gate” is formed by two connecting sections that can be opened by an adult. So that the removable child barrier to the pool does not have to be removed for day to day use of the pool, a “gate” section is provided at the steps or another convenient location. Family gatherings and social affairs contribute to distraction and drowning accidents involving young children. Having a party with young children present? Most fences, however, are never taken down until children in the home are old enough not to require this safe guard any longer. The average one-hundred-foot fence can be removed in less than fifteen minutes and be put back up in approximately the same amount of time. Each section can easily be rolled up and weighs only sixteen pounds.

The basic principal that keeps the temporary pool fence in place is bilateral tension and the fence should be checked periodically to ensure that you have the benefit of its full function.Ī standard fence is removable in approximately fifteen-foot sections. The bottom border of the fence material should be flush to your deck so as to prevent a child from pushing under.

The portable pool fence is placed into aluminum or plastic sleeves installed into your deck surface.

Life Saver’s removable pool fence is constructed of see through, polyester mesh mounted on aluminum support poles. The more times a fence is opened, for a reason other than to use the pool, the greater the possibility that it will be left open for whatever reason. These areas should be accessible to you without opening the safety fence.

That means not having to open the pool fencing to go out a screen enclosure door or into your backyard. For the pool to be truly isolated and the barriers serve effectively, there must not be a reason to enter the swimming pool area other than to use or service the pool itself. Isolate the pool from your home and eliminate all access to the water by a toddler. Removable pool safety fence has proven, over the past thirty years, to be the most practical and effective barrier against pool drowning short of putting up a permanent rail fence.
