Backyard swimming pools can be a great addition to any home, in which families and friends can come together and splash around, keeping everyone active in the warmer seasons. Let’s take a look at some of the most common pool fencing materials used today.
What Are Pool Fences Made Of?
Each and every one of these materials outlined below seeks to offer safety and durability for commercial and residential pools.
Vinyl
Vinyl is ideal for those looking for good resistance to moisture, insects, and UV rays. This material is also popular due to its low maintenance needs.
In addition to the little upkeep needed, vinyl pool fences can last up to 25 years. Homeowners will enjoy the minimal upkeep paired with a long-term polished look.
Glass
Glass pool fences are able to provide unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape. Even with a modern and open feel, the tempered glass panels are strong and shatter-resistant.
Glass is weatherproof with the ability to last a long time. The only drawbacks to this material are the high upfront costs and regular DIY cleanings.
Wrought Iron
If you want your fence to combine durability with aesthetic appeal, wrought iron is your material of choice. Wrought iron can withstand extreme weather conditions.
Wrought iron does require some occasional maintenance needs. In most cases, professional installation is needed. Contact the experienced team at Artistic Alloys & Designs to learn more about this fencing option.
Aluminum
This fencing material is rust-resistant and low-maintenance overall. These fences provide a lightweight feel with a sleek, modern appearance.
Aluminum panels allow for ease of installation while maintaining structural integrity for decades. This is a practical solution for a lot of residential pools.
Steel
The maximum strength of steel fencing suits both residential and commercial pools. Power coated or galvanized steel can prevent wear from the elements and corrosion.
Most steel fences can last between 25-40 years when cared for properly.
Mesh
Mesh fences are quite easy to install as they are lightweight and removable. Mesh provides a transparent barrier for pool area safety.
This fencing type is best for seasonal or temporary use.
Wood
Wood fencing types offer natural, rustic charms and can be customized to match your pool area.
However, due to visibility concerns, wood fencing may not be suitable for secondary pool barriers.
