Pool Fence Ed 101
Since not all requirements are the same, we have developed the option system to let you customize your new fence to meet your specific needs. Life Saver provides you with over 50 different styles of fence to choose from.
Our standard product is Black Safety Mesh, 4 feet (48 inches) high, utilizing reinforced standard aluminum support poles. This model fence is manufactured with an industry standard of 30 inches between support poles. It is our standard and most popular model of fence. The 30 inch support pole spacing not only adds to the safety and strength of the fence, but also provides more control for fence turns and free form type installations. The 4 foot height is used as the standard for US Consumer Product Safety Commission recommendations for pool safety fencing. It is also the height required by most states and counties that have passed laws requiring pool isolation barriers for child safety.
Support pole spacing on a straight run of fencing (such as between two walls) is of relatively little importance. Both the 30 and 36 inch models will provide almost the same strength and safety factors for all heights of fence. It is suggested on open free form pool installations that 36 inch pole spacing be restricted to the 3 1/2 foot (42 inch) high fence models; 4 foot high and up models should be selected with the 30 inch support pole spacing.
QUAD-X core aluminum poles are stronger than standard fiber reinforced aluminum poles and should always be considered over standard aluminum. Aluminum is the only viable material for use in pool fence poles.
Options for different mesh colors, pole colors, alternative border trims, etc. are all intended to accommodate individual tastes or preferences in the pool fence’s appearance.
