Your new pool will be an exciting addition to your yard, adding both equity and fun memories for your family. As a pool owner, though, you have certain safety responsibilities that might be required by either your insurance or your local government. One of the easiest ways to make your pool safe is to have a pool fence installed. American Fence Co has installed these types of fences for homeowners in the Hudson Valley area for more than 30 years, and their knowledge regarding pool fencing is immeasurable.

Below are some of the best reasons to have a fence built around your pool and the best way to use it.

Why a Pool Fence?

Fences around pools are recommended by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for both peace of mind and safety. They are exceptionally effective in preventing accidental deaths and near-drownings. The CDC has reported there are about ten deaths per day in the United States due to accidental drowning and fences enclosing the pool will reduce that risk by 83 percent. Even with your best efforts, it’s impossible to keep a constant eye on pets and children to keep them away from the pool. Your new fence is what will keep them out of harm’s way when you are unable to.

Installing a Pool Fence

Your pool fence should be at least four to five feet tall and should surround the pool completely. For your convenience, you can have gates installed where you see fit, but talk to your installer about the safest way to keep the gates secured, and the best fencing material to keep young children from climbing into the pool area.

The contractors at American Fence Co are experts in your local zoning laws and optimizing your pool fence for safety. Your new fence will give you substantial peace of mind for the security of your family and friends. Just contact them at (845) 427-5894 to schedule a free estimate for your project.
