A mesh pool fence can be installed by a homeowner. It’s often a favorite DIY project. Particularly among new homeowners. The biggest problem is… how safe is the final product? Government statistics show that nearly 900 children and adolescents between the ages of 0 – 19 will drown over the next year.
That’s it… just one year! Is it really worth doing it yourself?
Let's Look at Some of The Tricks
If you are genuinely concerned about safety, let a professional install your family’s mesh pool fence. Professionals know the product and know the tricks for a really safe and secure fencing system. Let’s look at some of these tricks of the trade… especially those provided by Life Saver Of Houston, a long-term established company in Houston, Texas.
A mesh pool fence is the most secure and reliable safety barrier used to secure residential swimming pools. While almost all mesh pool fence barriers are made out of polyester type materials, Life Saver’s is made out of a much stronger Textilene material that can withstand 387 lbs of pressure per square inch. The competitor’s product will not do this. It will also survive many more years in the harsh sun, wind and rain.
The mesh also has a quad-stitch border, created with the strongest marine grade thread. This mesh barrier is nearly indestructible!
The holes in the mesh pool fence are small enough that you can easily see through it, but a child cannot get their fingers through it. Thus, a child can’t grab it and climb over.
The top border on the fence has no top rail. So, once again, a child can’t grab it and climb over.
When the poles of the fence are installed, they are installed at carefully measured three-foot increments. This is critically important so that the bottom of the mesh fence stays really tight. This prevents a child from going under the fence!
When the holes are drilled in the deck of the pool, the professionals at Life Saver Of Houston use a diamond-tipped drill bit and a specially designed drill carriage. It’s critically important that the fence post holes are drilled at a special outward angle. This is important so that when the mesh pool fence is finally installed, the fence stands at a 90-degree angle to the pool deck. If not done properly, the secure and safe pool fence system will be a total disaster!
There are a lot of special things about the Life Saver pool fence that Life Saver Of Houston installs, but none are as special as their unique self-closing, self-locking gates. It always closes and locks. The lock is way up at the top of the fence so that a child can’t reach it. The lock is key lockable for an extra sense of security.
Life Saver pool fence’s pool safety gate is built using a double-truss system. A single-pole or single-truss system needs to be constantly adjusted. Combined with the fact that the gate and fence is removable, single-truss swimming pool gates are more likely to experience failure. A gate closing failure can render the whole pool fence unsafe because it allows access to the pool. The double-truss system of swimming pool gates allows for tension variations and minimizes the need for adjusting.
The Life Saver pool fence gate is the strongest and the most attractive pool fence gate on the market. It’s made out of 1-1/4” square steel compared to the competitor’s 1” round tubing. It also has a curved top rail that visually sets it apart from all other pool fence gates.
