Pets Need Protection Too

The old saying that dog is man's best friend holds true. Many owners cherish their pets and I must admit I am one of those people. I have installed two pool fences in the past month for families with no children, but have elderly dogs that are prone to falling in the swimming pool. A pool safety fences is an excellent choice for protecting dogs and cats of all ages, especially when the pets are very young or very old. A dog's eyesight tends to become diminished after ten years of age. They need special care to prevent an accidental drowning. Pool Guard safety fences offer protection and peace of mind when caring for that faithful and loyal friend....the family pet. Keep your pets safe by installing a pool fence around your swimming pool.

Pool Fence Objectives - A Practical Guide

All four sides of the pool should be completely enclosed with no more than a 2 inch gap. Enclosing patios while leaving other access points such as gates creates a false sense of security. The only sure proof solution is to enclose the entire pool with the pool safety fence.

A minimum height of four feet is recommended by the American Association of Pediatrics and every drowning prevention committee in the United States, as well as required for all foster home and in-home daycare facilities. This also applies to elderly care.

A self-closing, self-latching and key lockable gate is mandatory. This will ensure that no opportunity for an accidental opening to present itself. A self closing gate gives parents an extra level of comfort when children are in the care of relatives, baby sitters and care givers.

Not all swimming pool fences are created equal by design. For example, wrought iron is rigid and climbable. Chain link also enables footholds and leverage. There is one and only one type of fence to protect your children from pool accidents. It must be a pool safety fence with woven mesh and aluminum poles. By its design there are no finger holds, foot holds or any possible way for a child to climb the fence.

Children are our future – let’s give them every chance we can.
