Do you need a fence around a plunge pool?

• <div><p>Check with your local laws, which might state that you have to build a fence around your plunge pool. If you have children or pets or live in an area with abundant wildlife, you should consider <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-a-fence.htm">building a fence</a> around your pool for safety. Pools can present a drowning hazard, and while plunge pools are not very deep, younger children can get hurt if they try to dive into them. A fence can help protect your family and visitors from injury.</p></div>

Is a 4-foot fence tall enough for a pool?

• <div><p>The regulations for pool fence heights vary by state, so be sure to research what the legal, minimum height is in your area before purchasing or installing a fence. Though every region is different, generally a pool fence must be at least 4 and ½ feet high. If you’re unsure whether you need a fence around your pool, and how high that fence should be, contact a local pool enclosure expert to help you successfully, and safely, move forward.</p></div>

Q: Can enclosures be designed for year-round use?

• <div><p>Yes, with proper heating or cooling systems and energy-efficient glazing.</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: 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>
