We often get asked what is the best height for a pool safety fence. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a four foot tall removable pool safety fence with a self latching, self closing and lockable gate. They recommend this type of fence for a variety of reasons. The first is that this type of pool fence cannot be climbed by a child because there is no real place for a child to put a foot or get a foothold to leverage themselves over the fence. The second is the height of four feet is tall enough for the kids to not have the upper body strength to pull themselves over. As you can see in the photo, pool safety fence comes in five feet tall as well. This may be a bit much for most but some parents request it so we make it. Pool fence in Puerto Rico is mosty commonly 4 feet. Certainly we recomment a self closing and self latching and lockable gate to go with your fence because it will provide you the piece of mind you need when the phone rings and you step outside the pool to answer it.

It's no secret that Puerto Rico has the longest holiday season in the world. This holiday season brings about several new situations that are presented to people that own homes. The first is that there are an abundance of holiday parties. This increase in traffic means that people will be in the back yards and possibly bring their kids with them to the events. If you have a pool and you do not have a pool safety fence or pool safety net or pool safety cover, then you should consider the implementation of one of these products because accidents can happen when nobody is paying attention to the children. There will be food and of course drinks. The drinking of alchohol tends to cause people to relax their attention level and response time. It only takes a minute for an accident to happen with a pool involved. Pool safety fence is the number one product for pool safety. Layers of protection are advised when it comes to pool safety. A good example would be to have door alarms, window alarms and even a pool alarm. Certainly having all of these would be too much but we invite you to pick the products that best work for your house and family but for certain have at least a pool safety fence in place so you can truly enjoy your holidays.
