Unique Pool Designs that Will Inspire Your Creativity
Whether you have a standard swimming pool design or something a bit out of the ordinary, custom pool covers can help make your pool safer. Backyard pools are the perfect retreat from the blistering summer sun, but they can also present unique hazards. Pool areas can often be crowded with furniture, toys, and gear that create slipping and tripping hazards, making the large body of water even more dangerous for people who are unaware, children who are unsupervised, or anyone with a compromised mental or physical state. If you own a pool, it’s your responsibility to have the proper safety features installed to limit pool-related injuries.
Protecting Your Pool Area
Custom barriers are one of the most popular ways to prevent accidental entry into the pool, and in many cases they may be required by your insurance policy, homeowners association, or building codes. Your swimming pool design has a big impact on your barrier options and what you can do to protect your pool.
Pool safety fences create a wall between your pool and those seeking entry. Made of sturdy, removable poles and strong, rip-resistant mesh, they have the strength to stop enthusiastic pets, curious kids, and stumbling adults. They’re engineered to resist climbing, don’t have gaps that would allow an infant, toddler, or child to pass, and use self-closing, self-latching gates to prevent easy entry.
Custom pool safety covers offer another option by creating a barrier on top of your pool’s surface. They’re easily installed on most swimming pool designs and use rails to anchor the tear-resistant cover material to the edges. Unlike floating covers which can ensnare someone falling into the pool, safety covers instead hold them up and out of the water until they can crawl, walk, or be pulled to the edge of the pool and out of harm’s way.
