Do I need a fence around my pool?

• <div><p>Each state has its own regulations about pool fences, and laws to protect both swimmers and pool owners. Before installing a pool, you’ll need to research what the pool laws in your state, city, and county are to ensure that you’re adhering to the legal regulations. Inground pools typically need to have a fence around the entirety of them, but the rules regarding above-ground pools are less stringent. A good rule of thumb is to always have a fence around your pool to ensure safety for all. </p></div>

Q: Do pool enclosures block UV rays?

• <div><p>Some but not all types of pool enclosures block ultraviolet (UV) rays. You can opt for specially coated glass for your enclosure that helps block the harmful UV rays from reaching you in the pool. To keep yourself safe from harmful UV rays while swimming, it&rsquo;s best to routinely use waterproof sunblock. </p></div>

Q: Can professionals customize enclosures to fit unusual spaces?

• <div><p>Yes, with custom measurements ensuring perfect fit and function.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep animals out of my pool heater?

• <div><p>Small animals, particularly rats and mice, like to burrow inside pool heaters. To keep them out, seal any entry points with caulk or steel wool. Then, place mothballs inside or around your pool heater. As a final measure of protection, you can cover the pool heater in hardware cloth or wood paneling to further block entry points.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: What is the safest pool fence?

• <div><p>The safest pool fence depends on what you&rsquo;re trying to protect against. If you&rsquo;re concerned about children and pets, a fence with gaps between or under the material isn&rsquo;t advisable, as they could get through it. Mesh fences tend to reach the height requirements needed for pool fence safety, although they are not the most durable. Solid fence types, such as wood, concrete, or stone have the best chance of protecting the surface area around a pool, so long as they are high enough to discourage anything, or anyone, from climbing over them. </p></div>
