Mesh pool fences are actually safer than chain link. Chain link fences can have gaps that small children or pets can fit through, and are easier to climb. See http://www.babyguardfence.com/MeshPoolFence.php

How to Keep Kids Safe by Using Pool Fences?

Pool fences keep people, pets, and children safe when around swimming pools. Some states require people with children under specific ages to have pool fences installed until the children can swim. Other families consider pool fences to keep an elderly parent safe from accidentally falling into the water. All public swimming pools and pools in apartments, hotels and motels must use pool fences by law. The purpose of pool fences is to keep people who cannot swim out of the water when unsupervised. Some states like Texas require either a pool fence or a backyard fence if the yard has a swimming pool in it. Pool fences can be installed by do-it-yourselfers or by commercial companies. Some states require specifics to be met for pool fences, like the distance between slats, the height of the gate, self-closing latches, and how the pool fence posts are installed around the swimming pool. Drowning is one of the most common causes of death among small children, so it is no wonder that many states and local communities are requiring more pool fences in places to keep children out of swimming pools when they are alone. In single-family backyards, pool fences can be installed using temporary materials and then removed once the children become competent swimmers. Some of the materials used for the temporary fences use plastic mesh. Other people put up wooden fences whose slats are positioned close enough together so no child can get between them. Pool fences have to be tall enough to keep children from being able to stand on a chair to climb over the fence to access the swimming pool. Installing the gate latch on the inside of the gate so that the user has to reach over the gate also keeps kids out because they will have a hard time reaching the latch. People who are building a pool in their backyards need to check with the local authorities to see what the pool fence regulations are in their area. Pool fences do save lives, and following pool safety regulations are part of the responsibilities associated with having a swimming pool.

How to Look For Pool Fences That are Safe and Pretty?

The main purpose of a pool fence is safety. It is meant to keep out children, animals and people who may try to get into the pool when no one is around. If something happens, you will feel bad and possibly be in trouble for not having a pool fence. One popular type of pool fence that is not only protective but attractive is the removable mesh pool fence. This fence is made to go as close to the pool as possible and will enclose the entire pool. Some fencing goes around the patio and the areas around the pool as well, but this removable mesh fence surrounds only the pool. By doing it this way, it protects anyone from going into the pool. The mesh fence cannot be climbed like a standard fence could be climbed. It is simply a screen, but is made to be very sturdy. The removable mesh pool fence should have a lifetime guaranty. If it does not, it may not be a good fence to buy. This fence will withstand the harshest weather, even in the winter. Since the fence is needed year round to keep everyone out of the pool, this is a very important safety factor. Also the fence has a border on all four sides of a strong vinyl material to keep the fence from sagging. The borders should use the strongest marine thread to last through years of sunlight and inclement weather. Before choosing a mesh pool fence, be sure it has four stitches in the border. The mesh is then mounted on reinforced aluminum poles and has aluminum cove molding strips attached to all of the poles. An optional safety gate is available to go with the removable mesh pool fence. This fence should have a snap safety latch. It is nickel-plated to assure that it will never get rusty. This gate should also come with a lifetime warranty to assure it is the true safety gate. There is also an optional wireless alarm that goes with the gate in case someone is trying to get into the pool area. This mesh pool fence comes in different heights including 3 1/2’, 4’, and 5’. It is probably the safest idea to go with the highest fence.


What is the best pool fence to buy for a below ground pool?

There are two types of pool fences for below ground pools that both have many advantages and disadvantages each. Aluminum ornamental fences are durable with low maintenance, but they provide little privacy. PVC fences on the other hand provide great privacy and are also low maintenance, however, they tend to sag over time and need to be replaced.
