Most Popular Pool Fences

When looking around for the best pool fence for your needs, you may understandably feel a little overwhelmed by the sheer number of options. There are many options in terms of style, materials, color, convenience, maintenance and longevity. But keep in mind that above all, it’s most important to choose a fence that is secure, sturdy and well-structured. If you have that AND an attractive fence to enhance the beauty of your pool area, you’ve struck gold.

Here are some of the most popular pool fences today:

1. Vertical Bar

Versatility is the name of the game with vertical bar fences. You have several options in regards to material, style and color. From wrought iron and vinyl to wood and aluminum, each material has its own pros and cons. You should select a material that won’t get readily damaged or experience too much wear and tear as the years pass. Wrought iron fences, while elegant and provide unobstructed views of your pool area, don’t afford as much privacy as, say, a panel vinyl fence.

Another example is wood. While nice for its natural and classic look, as well as its ability to be stained or painted any color, wood fences can obstruct the natural view of your pool and can lead to rotting and splitting over time if not well maintained.

2. Glass Panel

Surprisingly durable, this type of fence is constructed of tempered glass. Naturally, it’s transparent so you are afforded an unobstructed view of the surrounding landscape. But, while beautiful, glass fencing is hard to keep clean, especially if you have a lot of kids and pets running around. They tend to show handprints and streaking quite easily, so you’ll be doing a lot of cleaning on a regular basis. Glass is also expensive, costing between five and 25 times more than mesh fencing.

3. Removable Mesh Pool Fencing

Removable mesh pool fences are popular due to their transparency, easy installation and use, and safety. Plus, they can be removed and stored quite easily. Rest assured, you’re getting a quality product, as this is one of the most popular fences designed for residential swimming pool safety. Don’t forget to make sure that the mesh fence manufacturer you choose meets the approval standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Guardian does, which is the company we use here at Central Jersey Pools.

If you are looking for something other than a traditional fencing system that’s still durable and convenient, you may want to invest in a mesh pool fence. This pool safety barrier is low in cost, versatile, durable and beautiful, matching many homes and decors.
