Summer’s here and the pools are finally open! 😎☀️
Whether you’re splashing around at home or heading out on vacation, it’s a great time to make sure your family stays safe around the water.
If you’ve got a pool at home, a proper fence is one of the best ways to help prevent accidents. A few quick reminders:
🔒 Fences should be at least 4 feet tall (some areas require 5).
🚫 No gaps or footholds kids could climb on.
🚪 Gates should self-close and self-latch.
🛑 Latches should be out of reach of little hands.
And don’t forget—when you’re booking a hotel or Airbnb, make sure their pool area is fenced, too. It’s an easy detail to overlook, but it makes a big difference in safety.
If you’re not sure whether your current setup meets code—or if you’ve been thinking about upgrading—this is the time to do it.
