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.

With 7 years of experience in pool safety in Puerto Rico, we have picked up on a pattern that most incidents with children and pools happen around the March through June time period. Why? This is probably due to new pool ownership and not having multiple layers of protection for the child/pool safety. Often a parent seems to think that they will be able to "keep and eye on the child or children so no layers are needed". This self confidence is the staging for a potential bad scenario. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a four foot removable pool fence with a self closing, self latching and lockable pool safety gate or baby gate. Alarms on all doors and windows that lead to the back yard where the pool is along with a pool alarm are all very acceptable formats of protection as long as you have more than one and preferable more than two. If your budget is a concern, then of course starting with a pool fence makes more sense than any other because it does not rely on batteries and is a four foot barrier hence making it a very tough obstacle for the child or children to get around.
