Salt Lake City, Utah
Every pool should have layers for child pool safety. The options on the market range from alarms, pool safety fences, pool safety nets, pin down pool covers to automatic pool covers. The challenge with just having a pool alarm is that by the time the alarm goes off, the child is already in the pool which gives you seconds to get to the pool and save the child. The benefit of having a pool fence is there is a vertical barrier created to prohibit the child from entering the pool. Pool safety nets, pin down pool covers and automatic pool covers provide a horizontal fence so to speak allowing the child to get to the pool but not get in the pool. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a pool safety fence with a self-closing, self-latching and lockable gate (or baby gate). Pool safety fence is often recognized as the gold standard in regards to pool safety. All pool safety products that you choose should be ASTM certified as this is the standard in the industry for these various lines of products.

Dover, Delaware
THANK YOU! Those words have never been spoken with greater meaning. Vernon with Pool Guard of Delaware recently installed a pool fence around our pool. The crazy weather we have been having has not made it easy for him to schedule the installation but he was very accomodating and the pool fence looks amazing. I was concerned about how the pool fence would go across the grass and up the steps however it really looks amazing. Thanks again for making our back yard safe for our two boys!
Denver, Colorado
We had a pool safety fence installed and we are extremely pleased with the quality of the pool safety fence as well as the baby gate. We would recommend Tony's pool service for your pool fence needs. As a side note, they installed our pool safety cover in our last house and did an excellent job on that as well. Tony is a great guy!

Bear's Paw, Florida
Freedom Pool Service recently installed a pool safety fence
with a pool gate around our pool and spa last week. Fred did a great job. The
pool fence is straight and the holes he drilled were nice and neat. When he
left the pool and pool deck were as clean as when he got there. We would
recommend Fred for a pool fence for anyone that is looking.

Port Charlotte, Florida
Fred Wilson of Pool Guard of Naples recently installed a
pool safety net on our pool (infinity edge) and it looks amazing. We thought we
were going to have to put a pool fence in however we found out that the pool
safety net is acceptable by code. It looks great, thanks Fred!

Marco Island, Florida
A sea wall presents issues of safety for kids (and grandkids in our situation).
We had pool guard of Naples install a removable pool fence along our sea wall
and it looks very nice. We used a beige with blue mesh…it all but disappears
when you look to the ocean. Impeccableinstallation, we would use them again.

Naples, Florida
Pool Guard of Naples did an incredible job on our pool fence to secure our pool. We needed
to close a permit on the pool (contractor never did it) so we hired Pool Guard
of Naples to take care of it and they did a great job. We are pleased with their
pool fence and the quality that Fred Wilson provided in regards to the actual
installation.

Guaynabo, Puerto Rico
Pool safety fences come in a couple of different heights as well as
come in a variety of colors. While black is wildly popular in the U.S.
mainland, all beige tends to be more popular in Puerto Rico than all black pool
fence by far. “We chose the beige because it matches our travertine floor and the
light beige color of our house”. Certainly Pool Guard has the most diverse
array of colors for pool safety fences in the market place, so if you require a
specific color, chances are Pool Guard has what you need. Call Pool Guard for a

Mayaguez, Puerto Rico
Pool safety fences are used for mostly pool safety for kids however recently Pool
Guard of Puerto Rico recently installed a pool safety fence for a set of twins…but
they were dogs! The homeowner has two identical Yorkie dogs. “We worry about them constantly and now with the dog pool safety fence, we can relax."
The quality of the pool fence is very impressive and it looks great.
Thank you!

Ponce, Puerto Rico
We wanted to say thanks for installing our pool safety fence along with the self-closing
gate in such a short amount of time. “Moving back to Puerto Rico has it’s challenges
(freight, cars, closing on the house) and working with Pool Guard of Puerto
Rico made things very easy to secure our pool” states Mrs. Gonzalez.

be aware that some companies will state “meet or exceed ASTM standards” however
they have not been ASTM certified. A product for pool safety around pools is

Jupiter, Florida
Dave and Scott came to our house to install our pool safety fence along our sea wall and around our pool and it looks fabulous. We chose the removable pool fence for the sea wall simply because it made sense versus vinyl fence or alunimum fence. We had two of the baby gates installed as well so we have access to our boat and seperate dock area. The transparency of the removable pool fence makes having a fence more tolerable and does not detract from the view. Great product, we are pleased with the overall package. We would recommend Pool Guard to anyone who needs pool fence in West Palm Beach.
Boynton Beach, Florida
Pool fence is such not a fun thing to buy. It is kind of like buying tires for your vehicle. You need them/it but the purchase process is not usually fun as you have to look around, decide what you are looking for in terms of a product and then start the process. Tires and pool fence have alot in common as they are both important in regards to safety and I looked at both as the same necessary process until I had my experience with Pool Guard. They made the process easy by showing up on time, explaining the product to me and providing very reasonable solutions to secure my pool. If I have to buy pool fence again, I will certainly call Scott as he did a great job with our pool safety fence.
North Palm Beach
Scott is the man! He just put in a pool safety net on my pool and it looks great! I certainly appreciate when a contractor is on time for their appointments, does a great job, cleans up after themselves and is courteous ! Scott hit it out of the park! These guys can really do a nice job to make your pool safe. Referrals will be coming. These are the guys to call for child pool safety.
Lake Worth, Florida
So glad that Pool Guard has a wide selection of pool fence colors. We wanted a specific combination and the only company that had it was Pool Guard! Scott was very professional and the installation looks great. We would do business with them again (and will once our beach house is done!).
West Palm Beach
We just had a pool fence installed by Scott with Pool Guard and I have to say...AMAZING. The professionalism (not expected for construction type business) and the quality of the installation. The pool fence is in a perfect line and really looks "picture perfect". The pool gate or baby gate (not sure what you call it) feels so sturdy and it closes by itself at the perfect amount of pressure. I could go on and on but the point is I am very happy and the pool is safe! Would give you a five start out of five star rating! Thanks Scott!
Guaynabo,Puerto Rico
Finca Elena is a prominent neighborhood in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico where Pool Guard of Puerto Rico recently installed a pool fence for a wonderful couple that is having twins. The owner stated "the pool fence looks amazing, I really am impressed with how great it looks. My father had one installed a couple of years ago by another company and there is no comparison in the quality of the material and installation, you guys really do a great job, I am going to recommend you to everyone I know that has a pool because every pool should have a pool fence. I really like the baby gate, it is fantastic and is very sturdy." Contact Pool Guard of Puerto Rico for your pool fence, pool net, pool cover and automatic pool cover needs. Estimates are free.

Baltimore, Maryland
We recently had a pool safety fence installed by Pool Guard of Maryland. The fence is not a law where we live but I can tell you that since we moved into this house two months ago, the pool has been silend mental burden for me and my husband. We have twin boys (age 4) and they are the ultimate in tag team trouble (I love them but they are a handful!). The pool fence and baby gate are such a great asset to our new home. I can honestly say that it was the best investment we have made in our new home! Thanks again!

Fredericksburg, VA
Fredericksburg, VA:
We just moved to Fredericksburg from Fairfax (not a big move but the house is bigger
for the money!). Along with our new home came a pool. We know nothing about
maintaining, cleaning and most importantly protecting our children from the pool.
We contacted Pool Guard and their local dealer came out and reviewed the
product and installation procedure with us and we agreed to have it installed the
following Saturday. I cannot tell you
how please we are with this product. Two weeks of checking the doors every five
minutes to make sure the kids do not get out and constantly looking out the
window! What a relief to have a pool guard fence in our back yard. They did an
outstanding job and the product is a god send!

Washington D.C
Washington, DC:
My husband and I had extensive discussions about what to put around the pool to
protect not only our children but the neighbor’s kids. We looked at aluminum
fence, wrought iron fence and even PVC but the two benefits none of them
provided was they are not removable and the fence obstructs the view of the
pool. We contacted Pool Guard for their removable pool fences and really liked
the strength and the look. We had it installed the next day and are very
pleased with the quality of materials, the professional installation and the
warranty.

Annapolis, Maryland:
It has been six months and I wanted to let you all know that I am looking out the
window of my dining room and the pool fence you installed looks fantastic. It has taken me a little longer than
expected to provide feedback but I wanted to tell you the baby gate and the
pool fence look and function great. We have some friends that are having twins
and plan on putting a pool in their house, we have already recommended Pool
Guard pool fence as we are very pleased.

Tulsa Pool Fence
Tulsa, Oklahoma: Steve just installed our pool fence and I have
to tell you guys that he really did an outstanding job. The entire pool is now
enclosed and thanks to the baby gate, we do not have to take the whole thing
down when we want to use the pool. The gate closes by itself and connects or
latches. This is a great feature to go with your pool fence. We would recommend
Steve from Pool Guard Oklahoma to anyone that needs a pool fence.

Tuscon, Arizona
A 14 month old girl nearly drown Saturday afternoon. Around 2:00 Saturday afternoon, crews from Mountain Vista Fire District were called to the 800 block of West Calle Casquilla after the girl was found in a backyard pool. When the crews arrived she was with her parents and CPR was in progress. She was unresponsive but had a pulse and was breathing very slowly on her own. She was taken to the hospital and her condition is not known at this time.
Mountain Vista Fire District is reminding the community that even during the winter months people must follow the ABC's of water safety. They are adult supervision of children around the pool, barriers, pool fences and gates that lock properly, and CPR classes for adults and swimming lessons for children.
Did you know? For every child that drowns, four children are hospitalized for near drowning incidents. One-third of near drowning victims survives but suffers significant impairments or irreversible brain damage. A child can drown in less time than it takes to turn your back and speak to someone.
