General Description
Life Saver’s pool fence is a removable mesh
pool fence designed specifically to provide a barrier around residential swimming
pools for toddlers and young children. The fence is installed in sections
to provide convenience for easy removal and reinstallation by you, the homeowner.
Available in 42, 48, or 60 inch heights.
The System
Our tension based system utilizes a series
of 15 foot sections of fence with inserts for mounting in non-conducting polypropylene
sleeves core drilled 4 inches deep into a concrete deck or other substantial
surface, connected in series at the top with 2 1/2 inch brass safety hooks
with stainless springs. What does this mean to you? The fence remains sturdy
by tension supplied from reinforced aluminum poles that slip into your deck.
Pool fencing can be installed in almost any type of deck. If you have questions,
let us know.
 Mesh
Life Saver pool fence is constructed with a
polyester mesh fabric utilizing a mildew resistant polyvinyl coating that
provides years of use in the harshest sunlight. It’s woven with a continuous
basket weave that boasts an incredible tensile strength rating of 270 lbs.
per inch making it impossible to rip under normal use. The mesh comes in black,
white, beige, or green. Bordered on all four sides by a reinforced vinyl
material with a rating of 387 lbs., the fence is kept from sagging and the
necessary tension is maintained throughout at the top and bottom. The border
can be considered the most critical part of the pool fence. All border is
QuadStitched with the
strongest marine thread to allow for years of abuse from direct sunlight and
the elements. Be sure your pool fence has four stitches in the border.
The finished mesh is securely mounted on aluminum poles and reinforced with
aluminum cove molding strips attached to each pole.
Support Poles
Poles
are constructed of aluminum and can come in either black powder coated, white
powder coated, green powder coated, or silver mill finish. All poles are fiber
core reinforced at critical stress points. QUAD-X core aluminum poles are
available in our premium line of fencing to provide even more support. Pole
spacing is optional at either 30 or 36 inches.
Stainless steel screws (14) are utilized for securely attaching the aluminum
cove molding to the poles and mesh.
The
poles’ surfaces are finished for handling and to prevent injuries from
physical contact, and all poles are capped to provide a neat finished appearance.
Standard sections supplied are 15 feet making it easy for you to remove and
reinstall the fence. A standard section weighs only 14 lbs. Short sections
are available down to 5 feet in length for 30" pole spacing models and 6 feet
for the 36" spacing models.
"I was hesitant
to have a baby fence installed thinking it would be ugly and not very convenient.
I was wrong. The fence is actually nice and your installation process makes
access to the pool very easy."
- Robert Gonzalez
Gate Options
The
most recent upgrade to the Life Saver Pool Fence, the Snap Latch, is a break-through
in high quality pool fencing. This new latch is nickel-plated with a stainless
steel spring, guaranteeing that it will never rust, corrode, tarnish, or deteriorate
in any fashion. As with all parts of the Life Saver Pool Fence, the Snap Latch
is covered by our Lifetime Warranty. The
Snap Latch is the first pool fence latch that can be used by both right and
left-handed parents. It's the safest latching system anywhere.
To open the fence,
first squeeze the poles together using one hand and open the latch with the
other. Then, put one arm over the fence facing the gate opening and place
your thumb and forefinger on the top of the pole. Push towards the gate opening
in line with the fence and the pole will turn in your hand once it is centered
in the sleeve. Push again on the top of the pole and lift out as the pole
centers in the sleeve. This can all be done in one step and is much easier
than it sounds.
You can then open
the fence like a door, putting the pole into the convenient lay-back hole.
Self-Closing, Self-Latching Gate
We also offer a self-closing, self-latching gate. Read more about it

"Life

fence around my pool and I am very happy with their product, price, and installation.
I highly
recommend Life Saver Pool Fence to anyone who needs this type of fence."

Be an Educated Consumer
Since not all requirements are the same, we
have developed the option system to let you customize your new fence to meet
your specific needs. Life Saver provides you with over 50 different styles
of fence to choose from.
Our
standard product is Black Safety Mesh, 4 feet (48 inches) high, utilizing
reinforced standard aluminum support poles. This model fence is manufactured
with an industry standard of 30 inches between support poles. It is our standard
and most popular model of fence. The 30 inch support pole spacing not only
adds to the safety and strength of the fence, but also provides more control
for fence turns and free form type installations. The 4 foot height is used
as the standard for US Consumer Product Safety Commission recommendations
for pool safety fencing. It is also the height required by most states and
counties that have passed laws requiring pool isolation barriers for child
safety.
Support pole spacing on a straight run of fencing
(such as between two walls) is of relatively little importance. Both the 30
and 36 inch models will provide almost the same strength and safety factors
for all heights of fence. It is suggested on open free form pool installations
that 36 inch pole spacing be restricted to the 3 1/2 foot (42 inch) high fence
models; 4 foot high and up models should be selected with the 30 inch support
pole spacing.
QUAD-X core aluminum poles are stronger
than standard fiber reinforced aluminum poles and should always be considered
over standard aluminum where pole breakage or abuse is highly likely.
Options for different mesh colors, pole colors,
alternative border trims, etc. are all intended to accommodate individual
tastes or preferences in the pool fence’s appearance. Take a look at our
new color chart! It will open up in
a new window for you.
