Do a thorough perimeter check of your pool fence before you open it up this season.
If you own a pool, getting it ready for summer is top of mind these days. In fact, with the warmer weather approaching it becomes increasingly important to make sure that all the necessary components of having summer fun around the pool are totally implemented. The reality is, with any pool, a fence is essential. Ultimately, there are some easy and simple things you should do ahead of the summer season to prepare your pool fence for the summer fun effectively and efficiently. Here is a helpful and incredibly useful guide to making sure your pool fence is ready for the summer season ahead.
Making Sure All The Gates Work Properly
Before you even open the pool for the summer season, it is incredibly important that you make sure all your fencing is in proper condition — meaning that all the pool gates are working as they should. In fact, taking the time to ensure that the latches are all working properly by opening and closing the gates surrounding your pool is the best approach to take. The reality is, pool fencing gates are typically required to include a latch so that they can seamlessly prevent people as well as animals from entering the pool itself without permission. Ultimately, if you have children in the home, proper pool fencing becomes increasingly important.
Railing Gaps And Fencing Height
Taking the time to properly measure the railing gaps along with the height of your pool fence can go a long way toward amplifying the safety of your pool overall. In fact, most pool fencing will include both horizontal as well as vertical railings. The reality is that horizontal railings should traditionally be no larger than 45 inches apart. Ultimately, having adequate spacing between the railings of your pool fence becomes an essential component of the safety of the fence overall.
Bottom Line
At the end of the day, having your fencing situation in tip-top shape before the summer season kicks off is incredibly important. In fact, making sure that your pool is safe and secure starts with having the right fencing installed on your property to protect the pool during the summer season.
