Pool Fences and Handicapped Children

It's natural for people to associate a swimming pool safety fence with a baby or toddler and keeping them safe around the backyard swimming pool; however, a pool fence can keep others safe as well.

Over the years we've installed many pool fences for people with handicapped children. While those children may have been older than toddler age, they are also as vulnerable, if not more so, to an accident. Parents of handicapped children have recognized the need to protect their pool from their children accidentally moving their wheelchair too close to the edge of the pool or a freak accident that could occur. A pool fence can and does protect those who can't protect themselves. Parents of handicapped children have told us time and time again how relieved they are to know that their children are protected when around the pool area. As you can see, a pool fence can save lives in so many different ways.
