A backyard pool is a retreat from the summer heat and provides a place for your family to entertain and relax. All American Fence in Spencerport, NY, knows that around every pool, there should be a pool fence. Here, they explain how this benefits you.

There are three major reasons you need to install a pool fence:

• Safety: There is nothing more important than the safety of your family. Unfortunately, drowning accidents are the number one cause of unintentional deaths in children ages one to four. Installing a pool fence that is at least four feet high and surrounds the pool on all sides prevents children from accessing the area unattended and can save a life. It can also save the life of your family pet if they wander too close to the pool.
• Liability & Law: In many states and towns, there are laws that require you to install a pool fence. You can check with your local municipality to determine what codes and zoning requirements need to be met. If you don’t install a pool fence even though you are required to, you can open yourself up to liability issues if someone is injured or drowns in your pool.
• Yard Appeal: You want your backyard oasis to look as good as possible. Beyond the safety features, a pool fence can also help improve the look of your yard. A fence will define the area and space around the pool and can be customized to fit your taste and style.
