For families that either have very young children or who are expecting a new child, concerns over an unfenced swimming pool are very valid, and for these families a removable mesh pool fence might be the perfect option. Too many children drown each year in unfenced residential pools, and knowing that it takes less than five minutes for a child to drown, putting up a fence for safety purposes is the smart and responsible thing to do. And in fact, there are many areas of the country where certain fencing laws are firmly in place for residential pools.

However, for those who do not reside in a city or state that has specific requirements, installing a permanent fence may not be something that they’re overly keen to do. After all, a fence does break up the natural flow of your yard and can often seem cumbersome and out of place. A mesh pool safety fence really is the best of both worlds in these sort of situations. The singular beauty of these fences is that they are completely removable. They’re easy to take down by an adult – which you can do for parties, or once your little ones are grown enough that protection by a permanent fence is no longer needed.

Perhaps the home you are in currently has a swimming pool, and as your family is growing you’ll know you’ll need a larger house. Installing a permanent fence around your swimming pool will absolutely add a measure of safety and protection, but it will need to remain in place when you put your home on the market, and might be an unattractive feature for buyers without children. With a child safety fence, you have the option of easily removing the fence all together, or leaving it in place depending on the situation.

Pool fences come in a variety of selection options as well. Mesh and pole colors can be customized to match the exterior of your home or to blend into your overall back-yard design. Gate options are also available and these fences are offered in a variety of different heights. All of these factors make it easy to design a pool fence that will best suit your needs, your lifestyle and your outdoor decor. You can provide those all-important life-saving safety measures with a style of fencing that will not only be protective but also aesthetically pleasing.

One last invaluable aspect of removable mesh pool fencing is how it offers unobstructed views to your pool. Other fencing with slats, bars or even solid panels, don’t give you a clear view of your pool. This way, even if you have older children or teens who swim in the pool, you can keep an eye on them from the other side of the fence without anything disturbing your line of sight. The see-through quality of this fencing not only gives you better viewing options but also makes the fencing less unsightly overall.

Every family in the Tampa area with a backyard swimming pool loves spending as much time out by the pool as possible. The pool area can be, and should be, a place for family fun and relaxation. By following a few safety rules everyone can enjoy the pool and ensure safety at the same time.

If small children live in the home, even little ones who are not yet mobile, have a pool fence installed around the swimming pool. Not only have pool fences been proven to save young lives and prevent needless accidents, but with a pool safety fence you have created a complete barrier between children and the swimming pool, so everyone can be outside and relax.

As summer approaches in the Tampa Bay area along come the frequent thunderstorms. Please make sure that everyone leaves the pool area if you hear thunder or see lightning.

If you use your pool in the evenings make sure that there is adequate lighting in the pool area to prevent accidents.

If you have a pool fence without a self-closing gate, please remember to always latch the pool fence opening when you are finished using the pool, and instruct your pool maintenance company to always check to make sure they have fully latched the fence closed.

Teach children to swim at an early age. Tampa Bay is surrounded by water and every child should know swimming survival techniques.

If your pool has a pool fence and you remove it for an adults only party, please make sure to put the pool fencing back in place immediately.

In the year 2000 the Florida Legislature passed a comprehensive pool barrier fencing law, mandating that all new pool construction be required to have either a removable pool safety fence around the swimming pool or door and window alarms on every door and window leading out to the swimming pool. The law actually went into effect in 2001 and now, 11 years later, the law has been proven to be extremely effective in preventing swimming pool drownings and near drownings. Florida was the first state in the country to pass a comprehensive pool barrier law. U.S. Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was the driving force behind getting this legislation passed and this law has saved many young lives.

The owners of Sure Guard, having been involved in the pool safety industry well before the law was passed, and strong advocates of the importance of swimming pool fences in saving lives, had spent much time and energy promoting pool safety. They knew just how effective pool fences are in preventing needless tragic accidents. They knew how many lives would be saved with a mandated pool safety requirement.

Florida led the nation in child drownings and near drownings prior to the pool fence barrier law due to the large number of swimming pools in the State of Florida. Statistics show that the number of drownings has been drastically reduced since the law went into effect. The barrier fencing law not only has prevented drownings, it has also brought great awareness to just how important an item a pool fence can be. Today in Florida, including here in the Tampa Bay area, many homeowners whose swimming pools were grandfathered in when the law went into effect, now know the importance of having a removable mesh child safety fence installed around their existing pools.

Since Florida enacted a barrier requirement for all new pool construction several other states have followed suit and this will result in more young lives eing saved. Even the European Union is now in the process of passing similar laws

Parents sometimes feel that door and window alarms will alert them if their small child gains access to the backyard while they’re busy doing something else. Some parents think a floating pool alarm will alert them to a potential accident. The reality is a complete barrier between the child and the swimming pool is necessary to prevent accidents. Swimming pool safety fencing has been proven to be the most effective way to prevent accidental drownings. A pool safety fence is so effective that many states in the Sunbelt, such as Arizona, California and Florida, have mandated pool fencing as a requirement for new swimming pools.

Alarm systems aren’t foolproof. People become so accustomed to hearing the door alarm that they begin to tune it out. If they do hear the alarm, they may not react in time to save a child already in the water. Floating pool alarms are set off by any motion in the water. Any pool float or even heavy winds will set the alarm off. Additionally, pool alarms are battery operated and it’s unlikely that people will realize when the batteries need to be replaced.

Pool fences create a complete and total barrier so that if a little one does walk outside they can’t accidentally fall into the pool. Sure Guard believes in layers of protection, but there is no replacement for a pool fence when small children live in a house with a swimming pool in the backyard. Not only does the pool gate block children from access to the pool, it is also non-climbable. A small child cannot open the safety fence nor crawl underneath the fence. Sure Guard advises that any climbable items on the pool deck be kept a minimum of five feet from the pool fence.

Pediatricians advise having a pool safety fence installed in every home with small children and a swimming pool, as many of them have seen firsthand the consequences of needless accidents. Swimming instructors believe pool fences should be around a swimming pool even if a young child has had the benefit of swimming lessons.

With a properly installed pool fence around your swimming pool your babies and toddlers and any small children visiting the home can be kept safe. Protect your pool with a pool fence.
