Although Betafence is renowned for its world-class welded wire mesh panel fencing, our unique swimming pool fencing is also a top tier solution for ensuring kids’ safety.
Why Is A Pool Fence Needed?
In South Africa, an average of about 1 500 people drown every year, with about one third of those being children under the age of 14. Thankfully, this kind of tragedy can be averted with the right kind of pool fencing.
Unfortunately, many people erect subpar pool fencing that can be easily circumvented or penetrated by determined children. Perhaps the bars are too far apart or the fence is corroded to the point of breaking and leaving gaps.
Other issues might involve pool fences with a gate that doesn’t latch properly or doesn’t have a failsafe if left open by mistake.
When it comes to kids' safety around swimming pools, there should be absolutely no compromise. Only the best, most well-constructed and reliable pool fencing should be considered.
What Makes Our Pool Fencing So Effective?
The Betafence DIY pool fence is a simple, elegant, yet robust rigid fence made up of vertical steel bars, offering the perfect balance of visibility and security. The best part is that you can easily install it yourself.
The vertical bars are spaced at a meager 100 mm apart, making it impossible for little children to squeeze through. Moreover, the smooth vertical bars are extremely difficult to scale so children can’t climb up its sides.
At about 1.2 m high, the fence is not easy for children under five years of age to climb over, with horizontal cross bars preventing them from getting in underneath as well.
The gate is equipped with self-closing hinges and a self-closing latch to make sure it never gets left open by mistake. The latch is designed to be easy for an adult to open but extremely difficult for a young child to open.
The entire fence and gate is hot dipped galvanised and then powder-coated black for maximum protection against corrosion, so it will last many years. With this fence in place, you can rest assured that your pool is well-guarded for the safety and security of all.
