Pool Safety: Pool Fence Installation
Keeping your pool safe with Cincinnati Fence Co
Owning a pool can be a lot of fun, but it also comes with some responsibilities. One of the most important is installing a pool fence.
A pool fence is essential for two reasons. First, it helps keep children safe by preventing them from getting into the pool without supervision. Second, it keeps adults safe by preventing them from accidentally falling into the pool.
There are various types of pool fences to choose from, so you can find one that fits your needs and budget. But regardless of which type you choose, make sure it is installed correctly by a professional. This will help ensure that it works properly and lasts for many years.
Required Pool Fencing: It's the Law
*This is not to be considered legal advice
Pool fencing isn't just a good idea; it's a requirement. A pool fence is required by law in numerous areas around the country. State legislation in Ohio mandates that a fence or other barrier surround any swimming pool to prevent accidents. Some basic standards that should be followed when installing a pool fence include ensuring that the perimeter barrier is at least forty-eight inches in height from the ground to the top of the fence. Any gates in the pool fence are also expected to lock.
There are also specific regulations regarding the space between any slats and the direction of any slats. These rules are in place to ensure no one can sneak through the fence or easily climb over the fence. Choose to work with Cincinnati Fence Co on your pool fence installation. We will help ensure it's done correctly, so you don't have to worry about the regulations.
Other benefits of installing a pool fence
In addition to helping prevent accidental falls, a pool fence may also help keep other unwelcome guests out of your pool. A pool might appear attractive to a neighbor or even a stranger if your property is not totally enclosed. When you return home from a vacation, the last thing you want to see is evidence that someone has been swimming in your pool. We've witnessed examples of other unexpected visitors in addition to unwelcome individuals. As a source of water, wild animals may be drawn to your pool. We've heard of deer, raccoons, and other animals getting caught in pools.
A pool fence can also serve as a privacy barrier. It is not necessary for a safety barrier to be unsightly. Here at Cincinnati Fence Co we can help install a well-designed fence that complements your home's general design to enhance the attractiveness of your backyard. A strong pool fence can keep curious eyes out if you don't want your neighbors seeing you swim while also keeping everyone safe.
