A pool fence is a great way to keep your children and pets safe while swimming. There are a few things to consider when purchasing glass balustrades and fencing:
1. Cost of a Pool Fence
The cost of a pool fence can vary depending on the type of fence you choose, the material used, and the installation. The average cost for a vinyl or plastic fence is around $200-$300, while an aluminum or wrought iron fence will cost more. Installation costs for both types of fences are about the same.
2. Safety First
When selecting a pool fence, make sure it is safe for your child and pets. Choose a fence that is at least 2 feet high and has barriers that extend out 3 feet from the ground on both sides of the pool. Make sure the gate is securely fastened so your child cannot open it accidentally.
3. Design Your Own Pool Fence
If you don't want to spend money on a pre-made pool fence, you can create your own using lumber or PVC pipe. You'll need to measure your pool area and figure out how many panels you'll need. You can also add designs or characters to individual panels or the entire fence enclosure.
4. Consider Accessories
A pool fence is only as safe as the accessories that are attached to it. Make sure to buy a gate that is designed for use with a pool fence and consider installing an alarm system to help keep your children and pets safe.
