Introduction

The recent rise in the number of residential pool set ups has called for safety measures concerning the family members. Consequently, installing safety barriers such as pool fences has become mandatory so as to keep off children below five years. Pool fencing can be done using a variety of materials such as wood, aluminum, steel, vinyl and glass. When pool fencing, one should make sure the fence meets a few credentials to ensure its effectiveness. First the fence should be sturdy and well structured, must meet the recommended pool fence height of 4feet or higher and should have a self-closing and self-latching gate which opens outwardly away from the pool. Some residential owners have since then opted for Framless Glass Pool Fencing.

Frameless Glass Pool Fences

Glass pool fences are usually made of tempered glass making them rather durable. These type of fences lack visible joints. There is no metal siding at the sides. Only the bottom part has steel hinges to attach it to the ground. The edges are usually polished and smoothened. The glass pool fences are either spigot, button or slot fixed on a wooden or concrete floor. The steel hinges allow one to confidently install the fencing on any type of floor. Maintaining glass pool fences is just as easy as the installation. Considering how frequently the pool is used, the glass fence needs to be cleaned regularly. A sponge and some soapy water would do. Afterwards rinse off the soap using a hose. It would be a shame to have visible stains on the glass.

Pros of Glass Pool Fencing

The clarity and delicate nature of the frameless glass pool fence gives a luxurious feel to one’s pool and back yard. Glass pool fencing also provides the pool users with an unobstructed view of the natural surroundings. Gives a feeling of being integrated with rather than being cut off from nature. The transparency of the fence allows one to keep an eye on the children on either side of the fence. Glass pool fencing improves pool safety as it difficult to climb over since it lacks any toe holds on which children could step on. Finally, glass pool fence maintenance is easy and can improve the lifespan of the glass.
