Including a fence with your swimming pool is not only necessary for safety and inspection, but can also serve as a decorative addition as well. Options for safety with a swimming pool include having a baby fence by itself, installing a railing with windows and door alarms for access going into the pool or one of the newest offering is to install pool alarms which go off when someone jumps in the pool.
One of the more durable fencing options is vinyl fences. Aside from being at a great price point, they are easy to clean and offer a huge range of styles and choices. The one downfall is that many vinyl fences don’t leave enough space between panels where high-speed winds can cause some damage. Wood is another popular option that typically aligns with a design choice. If well maintained, wood fences can last upwards of 15 years. However, as wood is subject to breakdown by the elements and other factors, you will eventually need some type of repair or resealing if living in the home for a longer period of time. Glass fences are a more trendy option, but are not as cost effective. This design looks great and offers an unobstructed view of your pool, but may require more money to install and a great deal of cleaning to ensure that crystal clear look is always there. The last option we review is the mesh pool fence. This option does not have as much of the WOW factor, but comes at a relatively low cost and still provides visibility to the pool. Vinyl is also more versatile because it comes in separate panels that can be rearranged to suit whatever your safety needs are. You can also remove the posts and fence if needed.
