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>

What should I consider when deciding to build an in-ground pool?

• <div><p>There are many factors to consider when building an in-ground concrete pool. This includes the pool’s primary purpose (relaxation or exercise) if you live in a warm or cold climate (how often it’ll be used), and if you have the budget for chemical treatments and pool maintenance. In-ground pools are often more costly than aboveground pools, but they’re considered more luxurious and hold more value.</p></div>

Q: Can a retaining wall be a pool fence?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-retaining-wall.htm">retaining wall</a> can only function as a fence if it&rsquo;s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn&rsquo;t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall. </p></div>

Q: Can I customize my pool design according to specific preferences?

• <div><p>Yes, pool designs can be customized to accommodate specific preferences, allowing for unique shapes, personalized tiling, special lighting features, water fixtures, and varying depths to create bespoke leisure experiences.</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>

The guys did a great job installing our new windows and pouring the driveway (and didn’t mind our dogs following them around either). Will definitely use them again for more projects in the future!

My husband and I have had several issues with the product we chose through Precision Garage Door. I’ve had to make more calls than I would like to address these issues, as has my husband. We certainly don’t like to be “those people” and aren’t looking to find issues out of nothing. The very last...

Ray was prompt. The old water heater began leaking in the evening and Ray was here the next day to do the installation. He was careful to protect our carpeting when removing the heavy old water heater and completely cleaned up after the job was finished. The installation took only a few hours....
