Flat Top PVC Vinyl Picket Fence FM-407 For Pool, Garden, and Decking

Pool Fence

When building a swimming pool for a house, its water circulation system and self-cleaning system are important. However, it is also essential to install a safe and reliable fence for the swimming pool.

When installing a swimming pool fence, it's important to consider many factors to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.

First of all, the height: The fence should be tall enough, with no more than a 2-inch gap between the bottom of the fence and the ground. The height requirement may vary depending on your local regulations, so it's important to check the requirements for your area before starting.

Secondly, the gate: The gate should be self-closing and self-latching, with the latch located at least 54 inches above the ground to prevent small children from accessing the pool area unsupervised. The gate should also open away from the pool area to prevent children from pushing it open and entering the pool area.

Third, Material: The material of the fence should be durable, non-climbable, and rust-resistant. Common materials used for pool fences include vinyl, aluminum, wrought iron, and mesh. FenceMaster vinyl material is an ideal one for building a pool fence.

Fourth, Visibility: The fence should be designed to provide clear visibility of the pool area. So that when any parents want to see their children, they can see them through the fence to ensure safety.This can be achieved through the use of a wider spacing FenceMaster vinyl picket fence.

Fifth, Compliance: The fence should comply with local regulations and codes regarding swimming pool safety. Some areas may require permits and inspections before installation, so it's important to check with your local authorities before starting the installation process. You can customize the appropriate picket spacing or fence height in FenceMaster according to your local pool codes.

Finally, Maintenance: The fence should be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure that it continues to meet safety requirements. This includes checking for any damage, ensuring that the gate is working properly, and keeping the area around the fence clear of any objects that could be used to climb over the fence.

FenceMaster recommends that you consider these factors before building a swimming pool fence, to ensure that your swimming pool fence is safe, durable, and compliant with local regulations.
