A pool should have some form of protection to keep a child from drowning. Pool Fences are usually the first line of defence however in Puerto Rico pool safety nets or pool nets (mallas) are fastly winning popularity because they provide a solid form of protection but more importantly there is no obstruction of the view of the pool or the beach that the house may have. The question is asked at least once a week as to which would work better for a specific pool a pool net or a pool fence. The answer depends mostly on what the ages are of the children that we are trying to keep out of the pool. A pool net tends to be targeted at a child or children that are over the age of 5 years old. The cognitive development of a child for understanding when a pool net is on the pool really does not start until about four years old. This fact alone is the main reason that a pool fence should be used on pools for protection on children under the age of 5. Certainly the pool safety nets come in a variety of colors (blue, beige, black and terracotta) however most choose the standard color of blue as the pool is usually blue.
