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 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.   

There seems to be several reasons for people wanting to cover their pools here
in Puerto Rico other than just the mere safety of having the pool secured. Often
people that have a property with a swimming pool in Puerto Rico cover their
pool because they are going to be gone for an extended amount of time from
their property and not only want it secure from children but from
the debris that the vast amount of vegetation generate given we are on an
island. Certainly the third and most paramount irritant in owning a pool in
Puerto Rico is the amount of Iguanas. These pesky reptiles continue to grow
in population and have now reached epidemic levels as they continue
to damage crops, disrupt planes landing at all the local airports and
use residential pools as their personal swimming holes. A pool safety cover
prohibits them from having their leisurely day in the sun at your pool
while you are at work during the day. How? Very simple. The horizontal
 barrier does not allow them to get to the pool and thus eliminates
your pool as a source of drinking and swimming source for these reptiles. Pool
safety covers come in an assortment of colors and materials so that
you can have a selection of what you feel is best needed for your specific
pool. Certainly not all covers are built the same and that is why we recommend
you to contact your local pool cover installer and review the benefits of the
manufacturer and their respective material. The warranty will range depending
on the manufacturer and the product so make sure that the product that
you select can be referenced back to the website of the company and that you get
your warranty registration papers when you have your cover
installed.
