Pool Safety in the Caribbean. A simple yet powerful statement with a mere 5 words. Pool safety is not a topic that most think of when they dream about sandy beaches and marlin fishing in the Caribbean but guess what...the Caribbean and particularly Puerto Rico has a tremendous amount of pools. While most people will contend that the yards are smaller in Puerto Rico than the average size of a yard in the United States mainland and that most pools here in Puerto Rico have a fence around to keep kids out or stalemating that "attractive nuisance" HOWEVER the reality of the statistics is another bite of a different fruit. The reality is that most of the time the pool incidents that occur are regarding the kids that live in the home and thus the fence (concrete or cyclone) is not a remedy to keep the children that live in the home or are visiting out of the pool. This is the key component that is very often overlooked. "It will never happen to me" and then it does. My kid can swim so it is not a concern (but their friends may not be able to swim). An unprotected swimming pool is an invitation for trouble. Plain and simple. Pool Guard of Puerto Rico takes a great deal of pride in offering a product that is made in the USA and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

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.
