Adding a pool to your property is a great way to increase home value and create a fun space for your family to enjoy during the summer. Whether above ground or in-ground, a pool brings excitement and enjoyment for kids, family, and friends alike.
Along with a new pool comes the responsibility of keeping your loved ones safe. According to the CPSC, between 2014 and 2016, there were an average of 5,900 pool- or spa-related emergency injuries each year involving children age 15 and younger. Between 2012 and 2014, there were an average of 356 reported fatal drownings in pools or spas for the same age group each year.
These numbers are sobering, but many such tragedies are preventable. One of the most effective safety measures you can take is installing a pool fence. A properly installed pool fence provides peace of mind and adds an important layer of protection to your home.
Beyond safety, a pool fence offers additional benefits that make it a worthwhile investment for any pool owner.
