Having a pool in your backyard gives you the ability to go for a dip any time you please to relax and unwind. There are some neighborhoods that require homeowners to have a fence around their pool to ensure that young children do not accidentally fall into the pool and drown.
There are many options when it comes to fencing that goes around a pool, but one of the most stylish options is an iron fence. Iron fencing is designed to be very durable and long-lasting so that you do not have to replace it often.
If you plan to have an iron fence placed around your inground pool, use the following guide to learn what things the fencing company will need to know in order to create the perfect enclosure for you.
When you have a fence placed around the perimeter of your pool, you need to consider how tall you want the fence to be. If the neighborhood has restrictions that dictate you must have a fence around the pool, they will have specific guidelines as to the minimum height the fence can be.
You need to decide if you want to have a fence that is the minimum height required or if you want the fence to be higher. The fence can be customized to the exact height you want it to be to create the ideal perimeter around your pool.
There are some people who choose to have taller fences placed around their pool because they want to restrict people of any age from gaining access to their pool. There are times when teenagers sneak into people's pools while they are away, which can sometimes lead to accidents happening. A tall fence will ensure no one can gain access to your pool without your knowledge.
Next, you need to consider how long you want the fence to be on all sides of the pool. Consider if you are going to have a pool deck created around the pool for people to be able to lounge and relax while sunbathing. You want to be sure to arrange the fence so that it is placed around the edge of the pool deck, rather than right against the pool, so people have room to walk around.
You can choose from a large variety of designs when it comes to an iron fence. Choose a design that is a complement to the rest of your home, rather than a design that doesn’t match. You want the fence to integrate seamlessly with your existing landscaping.
Take the time to consider a few different design options that are available. All of the designs you look at will have pickets that are properly placed to ensure that you are in compliance with the codes within your jurisdiction. The pickets must be spaced properly in order to ensure that children cannot slide through the pickets.
When you have a fence around the pool, there must be a way to get into the fence. The door of the fence will need to be secured if you want to keep people out of it. It is best to choose a fence door that locks with a key rather than one that simply latches together. This will ensure that no one is able to open the door without the key to the fence door.
