Installation
Swimming pool fencing is typically installed using metal posts with lattice, mesh or solid panels. The height of the fencing is determined based on safety requirements and local regulations. In most cases, a minimum of 48 inches is recommended. The spacing between fence posts will usually be determined by the height and type of fencing material used. For example, a lattice fence may require a gap of 3 inches between posts, while a mesh panel may require a gap of six inches. The fence posts can be installed either directly into the ground or mounted on concrete pads. When mounting fence posts, it is important to ensure that the posts are firmly anchored in the ground and secured properly against wind forces. Additionally, the posts should be spaced evenly around the perimeter of the pool. Once the posts are installed, the fence can be fastened with appropriate hardware, such as screws or bolts. Finally, fence gates should be self-closing, self-latching and out of reach of small children.
Fashionable styles
The most popular swimming pool fences are typically made from wrought iron or aluminum. Fashionable styles of swimming pool fences include flat top, horizontal bars, vertical bars, picket style, and arc designs. As for surface treatment, there is powder coating, galvanizing, anodizing, and painting. Powder coating involves a process of spraying and curing a coating powder onto the steel, which gives it a durable and attractive finish. When it comes to choosing the coating material, the most important factors to consider are durability, maintenance needs, UV protection, and the overall landscape of the backyard. Popular coating materials are black, brown, white, and beige, specialty finishes such as copper, bronze, and vintage color available. Galvanizing is a common method in which zinc is applied to the steel to form a protective layer that prevents rust and corrosion. Anodizing is a process in which aluminum or other metals are treated with an electrolyte solution to create a protective oxide film. Lastly, painting involves applying a primer and paint to the fencing material.
