What Are the Different Styles of Aluminum Fences for Pool Areas?
If you have a pool, then you already know that a state-approved pool fence is a must. Of course, there are many different materials that a pool fence can be made out of, from wood to wrought iron. In my humble opinion, aluminum is the best choice of fencing material for a pool fence, because of its durability, pleasing aesthetics, and the fact that aluminum is a metal that doesn’t rust.
It’s important to note that there are a few different styles of aluminum you can choose for your pool fence if this is the material you’re going with. In the blog below, we’ll explain the different styles of aluminum fencing, and tell you a little bit about each of them, so you can make the best decision for your pool fencing needs.
Spear Top
The spear-top aluminum fencing is perfect if you live in a neighborhood where there are a lot of children. It’s great for maximum security, and the spears help prevent kids and pests from climbing over the fence into your pool area.
Flat Top
As the name implies, this is a flat-top aluminum fence. It’s the best option if you live in an area where you don’t have to worry about children or pets climbing the fence and roaming around your pool area.
Loop Top
A loop-top fence is a cross between the spear and flat-top fences. It’ll prevent animals from jumping over the fence and is a pretty design as well.
Picket Top
If you paint his picket top fence white, it could be confused for a wooden picket fence. However, it’s still sturdy aluminum and should work well around your pool area.
Remember, you need to have at least a four-foot fence in place around a pool so that you don’t have to worry about children and pets invading your space. In fact, there are safety regulations in place in most states that make it illegal not to have a fence around your pool area. If something should happen and someone becomes injured or worse on your property without a fence around the pool, you’re in for a lot of grief and very possibly could do prison time.
It’s best to choose a sturdy, safe, four-foot fence to go around your pool area, and aluminum fits the bill, no matter which style you choose.
