Q: What is the safest pool fence material?

• <div><p>Mesh and tempered glass are both very safe pool fencing options because they&rsquo;re difficult to climb. You might also want to consider installing a pool safety net, and always make sure your pool is maintained properly. You could even consider a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-swimming-pool-enclosure.htm">swimming pool enclosure</a> that surrounds the pool on all sides.</p></div>

Q: Are there customization options available for above-ground pools?

• <div><p>Customization options may include different pool shapes, sizes, decks, and additional accessories like ladders or pool lights.</p></div>

Q: What other storage solutions are available?

• <div><p>If you have multiple rooms that could use some organization, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/home-storage-solutions-built-convenience.htm">home storage solutions</a> like cubbies in your mudroom or built-in shelving can help you move clutter off the floor. Take it one step further by pairing shelves and cabinets with personalized aesthetic touches like woven or canvas lined metal baskets to add another organizational element.</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>

The sales rep was knowledgeable and helped to narrow down the best options for us. Measurements were accurate and once the door was available, installation was scheduled quickly. The installer did a great job and made sure every detail was attended to.

Chaz was wonderful - he did an excellent job of giving me piece of mind and taking care of random items on my "honey-do" list. I will be using him again in the future to install a new bathroom floor and other renovation/repair projects.
