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: Will homeowners insurance pay for a new fence?

• <div><p>In many cases, yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-home-insurance-cover-fences.htm">homeowners insurance covers fences</a>. Home insurance policies protect your home and other structures on your property, often including fences. So, if the fence damage was caused by a covered event (like a storm or fire), your insurer may cover some of the cost to repair or replace your fence.</p></div>

Q: How long does a black chain-link fence last?

• <div><p>Black chain-link fences last an average of 15 to 20 years. The thicker a fence's wire gauge, the longer it will tend to last. The black vinyl coating gives the fence rust and corrosion resistance, but its life span may be lower in wet, humid, or coastal climates where moisture or salty air can corrode the coating more quickly.</p></div>

Q: Should I repair or replace my fence?

• <div><p>If 20% or more of your fence is damaged, pros will often tell you that it&rsquo;s a better use of your money to replace the fence entirely. Severe rotting and insect damage always call for a replacement. However, if you&rsquo;re just dealing with a few loose posts or a little bit of mildew growth, you can repair the fence.</p></div>

Q: How much of a gap should be under a fence?

• <div><p>When considering how much of a gap should be under a fence or gate, a good rule of thumb is to keep gaps between 2 and 5 inches tall. This allows for some ground clearance for the gate but still provides safety for children and pets, who shouldn&rsquo;t be able to squeeze through a gap of that size.</p></div>

Power washed. Prepared. Primed. And painted. All in about a day. Fence looks brand new. This job would have taken me a week-and-a-half and about three bottles of Aleve and not have been nearly as nicely done. Good job, guys!
