points to consider when installing a pool fence

It is summer in Houston and, yes, it has been hot! You have now installed your very own swimming pool. Now, you are thinking about your family’s safety. You have two kids and a Miniature Schnauzer. You have made the right decision and decided to install a safety fence around your pool. Kudles for you! Now, here are some points to consider before buying and installing that fence.

Here are Some Points to Consider

Choose the Style of Fence to Match Home Decor

Swimming pool fences come in all kinds of styles. They can be made of wood, chain link, stone, or even glass. Think about your homes architecture and choose a fence that matches. Most people want their pool area to be a focal point of the house… you probably do, too.

Be Selective on the Material It’s Made Out Of

This goes along with matching your home’s décor, but the material that your home pool fence is made out of will impact how safe the fence actually is. Pool fences made out of cheap materials will give you exactly that… a cheap fence that is not really safe.

Swimming pool fences can be made out of many different type of materials. Think about the environment the fence will be exposed to and how often the fence will be touched, stretched, and pulled upon. Think about how long you want the fence to last.

Choose a Fence of Adequate Height

In Houston, a pool fence needs to be at least 4 feet in height. This is high enough to keep the swimming pool area secure from small children and household pets. However, you may want a fence that is even higher.

Choose the Color of Your Pool Fence

There is a wide range of colors to choose from. Pool fences come in a lot of different colors. Colors will vary depending on the material the fence is made out of. You have a lot of choices.

Pool Fence Gates are Important

I have said it before, the pool fence gate is the most important part of really safe pool fence system. This is the main area that your kids and other family members will access the swimming pool area. If you don’t have a safe and secure pool fence gate, what good is the rest of your fence doing you?

Choose the Cost of Your Pool Fence Wisely

The least expensive pool fence system is not always the wisest choice. Remember, you are choosing to install a safety swimming pool fence because it is the safe thing to do for your family, children, and pets. So, certainly consider costs and be wise about it, but don’t let that be the key focus point.

We believe strongly that we sell and install the best pool fence system on the market. Not only in Houston, but in Texas, and nationwide.
