Pool safety covers have increased in popularity in Puerto Rico for a couple of reasons. The first is that the value of a pool safety cover during the "off season" allows the pool to be closed with little to no maintenance all the while keeping the pool safe. As we all know if you do not have a heater on your pool, the pool is a little cool during the "winter" months of the year in Puerto Rico and many do not see the value of weekly service for their pool when it is not in use if they can simply close the pool for a couple of months. The second and lesser of the two main reasons for the pool cover is the rampant growth of the population of iguanas on the island. A Pool fence will  not keep these pesky reptiles at bay. A pool net will not keep them at bay. A pool safety cover will keep them out of the pool. Will they still leave "presents" on top of the pool cover? Yes. This is easily resolved by letting the "present" dry and then simply using a hose to spray it off (it will get wet again however it will get washed off the cover easier than when new). The second option is to use a lawn blower and blow it off. Either method is certainly more sanitary than the mess that is often left in the actual pool itself.

Pool fence comes in different colors  When looking for pool fence, ask to see the various colors not just what the person has available .The most common colors in Puerto Rico are Beige, Brown and sometimes a combination of the two. While all black fence tends to be popular in the United States, here in Puerto Rico the housing color and size of the yard plays a role in the tendency to use a lighter color. Some may argue that is shows dirt easier however with the UV coating that the Pool Guard fence has, cleaning is as simple as a hose and broom for a light cleansing. The darker colors tend to make an area look smaller (interior and exterior designers will tell you the same about house paint especially when painting a small room, a light color will make the area feel bigger).

Pool Cover Puerto Rico

This is an excellent example of a pool (and proximity to trees) in Puerto Rico and what a pool owner has to fight  against here in Puerto Rico in regards to the trees from the river behind the property. After doing a price comparison of the two companies that offer custom pool safety covers on the island, he elected to go with Pool Guard. Quality, Service and Price speak for themselves.

Pool fence in Puerto Rico comes in standard 4' or can be ordered in 5' tall as well. The most common height is 4' tall as this American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that every pool has a pool safety fence as well as a self closing, self latching and lockable pool safety gate. The gate portion of a pool fence system is the portion that receives the most use because of the traffic flow. This in and of itself simply makes it very important to pay close attention to the construction of the gate when making the purchase of your pool fence system. The gate should be reinforced in as many places as possible (most styles are dependent on the fence system itself however the better gates are independent, in other words if you take the fence out the fence will stand on it's own) and a bottom bar reinforcement is the preferred and gold standard of the industry. Be careful of marketing gimmicks when it comes to making your decision on what company to use. There are a lot of "here today, change companies tomorrow" businesses out there, especially here on the island. Ask how long they have been in business and how long they have been selling the same brand and working with the same manufacturer. This should shed some light on who and what you may be entering into an agreement with. Above all, make sure your pool gets protected sooner than later.
