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.

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>

Q: Are pool screen enclosures worth it?

It all comes down to how much you use your pool, and what it would mean to you to have year-round access to it.</p><p>If you know that you'll swim in your pool a lot, then having an enclosure means you don't have to worry about the weather.
