CAUTION: Swimming Pool Fences are a Year-Round Necessity

Many think a pool fence, or some barrier to prevent toddlers from gaining unsupervised access to the pool, is only needed during the hot summer months when the pool is frequently used.

This is a gross misconception and can be a fatal one too – an accidental drowning can occur anytime of the year.

Studies conclude most accidents occur when a child gains unsupervised access to the pool area

One instance where this happens is when a door leading to the pool area is left open or the child opens the door themselves, not when the pool is used on a daily basis like in the summer.

Consider also that on really nice days in the fall and spring, you want to open your doors and windows to allow the pleasurable, fresh air inside the house. Without a pool fence, young kids will undoubtedly find their way to the pool – and quite possibly, accidentally drown.

Studies also conclude that most pool accidents occur when the child is fully dressed, not when they're in a bathing suit – again, exhibiting the fact that a swimming pool fence is necessary at all times, not just times when the pool is in use.

Install and maintain a swimming pool fence for year-round protection

A properly constructed and installed pool fence adequately protects your child from the dangers of accidental pool drowning. Different pool fence fittings and components work together to block any and all access points a toddler could find to access the pool area.

Pool safety fences from Katchakid meet or exceed U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards for pool barriers.

Manufactured from a durable polyester woven mesh coated with marine grade polyvinyl by Textilene ® , Katchakid pool fence mesh has no holes big enough for a small child to crawl through and is extremely difficult to climb. It's also installed so a child cannot crawl underneath. The material also holds up extremely well to the elements – retaining its tensile strength for many years.

Gates for a pool fence are also an important component to preventing toddlers from accessing the pool area. Katchakid pool fence gates also exceed CPSC safety standards – they swing outward from the pool so a child cannot push it open and are self-latching and self-locking.
