Pool Safety Nets are Easy to Install, Remove and Take Up Less Space

One of the best ways to protect your loved ones is by installing a pool safety net. Safety nets take up a lot less space than traditional fencing as well. Safety nets are installed flush with the pool deck, so there is little to no space removed from the pool area. Safety nets maximize safety as well. They provide a flexible, yet secure barrier solution that prevents children from entering the pool water unseen or unheard.

Removing or replacing the swimming pool safety net is really quite easy. The nets comes with a series of pulleys is built into the center of the pool safety net. By loosening the pulley rope, the tension is released and the pool safety net is easily removed. Just unhook the clips and roll the pool safety net onto the portable roller. Simply reverse this process to place the pool safety net back onto the pool.

DCS Pool Barriers offers Pool Safety Nets in 2 colors.

Experience the Benefits of Sliding Glass Door Self-Closers

Summer has hit Arizona and when the heat is on, homeowners face numerous challenges. With the rising cost of energy and a growing concern for the environment, it’s important for homeowners to do everything possible to keep their families comfortable while keeping energy use down. Busy families often tend to leave doors open while running in and out of the house, allowing air conditioned air to escape and hot air to enter the house. And the opposite is true in winter – no one wants to pay to heat their home and then let chilly drafts into the house when doors are left open, even just a crack. Mom can run around closing doors or constantly remind the kids to shut the sliding door behind them as they run out to join their friends in the yard. Or, life can be a whole lot easier and more efficient with the installation of sliding glass door self-closing devices. These devices self-close the sliding glass doors every time they are left open. Whether it’s an inch or a foot, the door will close securely and you can rest assured that your energy dollars are not escaping through your sliding door.

Self-closing devices are easily installed on sliding doors, and can be color matched to the doors to blend in and go virtually unnoticed in any décor. They also will not be damaged when the kids actually do remember to close the door themselves.

Another serious summer challenge that homeowners face is keeping kids and pets safe when there is a pool in the backyard. Of course, the number one way to keep kids safe around pools is supervision, even indoors. Self-closing devices can be the first line of defense in family pool safety. If an older child heads outside and a few minutes later their younger sibling wants to follow, the door will be securely closed. Additionally, companies like DCS Industries in Phoenix, AZ recommend adding a self-latching device to sliding doors as an important safety measure. This handle can be mounted at a height that prevents children from opening the sliding glass door on their own. Installing the latch along with the company’s patented Ultra Glide self-closing device ensures that your children stay safely inside the house.

Another great reason for installing a self-closing device like the Ultra Glide is to keep unwanted visitors out of your home. No matter where you live, no one wants mosquitoes, moths or other pests slipping into the home through open doors. Residents in the Southwest can face even bigger challenges in the form of potentially harmful snakes, scorpions and other wildlife that can enter the home through an open sliding glass door.

Self-closing devices for sliding glass doors are worthwhile investments that are easily installed and even easier to live with. Not only do they provide energy savings in any season, but they are a smart way to improve your family’s safety and security in the home.

How Can Drowning be Prevented?

How can drowning be prevented? Information from the CDC website:
http://www.cdc.gov/HomeandRecreationalSafety/Water-Safety/waterinjuries-factsheet.html

SUPERVISION. Designate a responsible adult to watch young children while in the bath and all children swimming or playing in or around water. Supervisors of preschool children should provide “touch supervision”, be close enough to reach the child at all times. Adults should not be involved in any other distracting activity (such as reading, playing cards, talking on the phone, or mowing the lawn) while supervising children.
BUDDY SYSTEM. Always swim with a buddy. Select swimming sites that have lifeguards whenever possible.
AVOID ALCOHOL. Avoid drinking alcohol before or during swimming, boating, or water skiing. Do not drink alcohol while supervising children.
LEARN TO SWIM. Formal swimming lessons can protect young children from drowning. . However, constant, careful supervision and barriers such as pool fencing are necessary even when children have completed swimming classes.
LEARN CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR). In the time it might take for paramedics to arrive, your CPR skills could make a difference in someone’s life. CPR performed by bystanders has been shown to improve outcomes in drowning victims.
DO NOT USE AIR-FILLED OR FOAM TOYS. Do not use air-filled or foam toys, such as “water wings”, “noodles”, or inner-tubes, in place of life jackets (personal flotation devices). These toys are not designed to keep swimmers safe.

If you have a swimming pool at home:

FOUR-SIDED FENCING. Install a four-sided pool fence that completely separates the house and play area of the yard from the pool area. The fence should be at least 4 feet high. Use self-closing and self-latching gates that open outward with latches that are out of reach of children. Also, consider additional barriers such as automatic door locks or alarms to prevent access or notify you if someone enters the pool area.
CLEAR THE POOL AND DECK OF TOYS. Remove floats, balls and other toys from the pool and surrounding area immediately after use. The presence of these toys may encourage children to enter the pool area unsupervised or lean over the pool and potentially fall in.

Fix that Gate for Pool Safety and for Lasting Beauty!

Gates on your property that are old or in disrepair can be an eyesore and a safety hazard. Years of Arizona’s harsh weather conditions and general wear and tear can weaken any kind of gate, and wood gates can be especially susceptible to damage. Gates can rot, sustain damage from insects, loosen and sag. Gates in this condition obviously don’t work properly, failing to latch or swing properly on their hinges.

Wrought iron or powder-coated steel gates are a great alternative to wood gates. Having your gate galvanized will prevent rust for many years to come, and quality manufacturers offer a warranty against rust with the galvanization process. Powder coating or electrostatically painting your fencing opens up a variety of color choices to best match your property and design aesthetic. Do you want your gate to blend seamlessly into your current fencing or block wall, or make a statement in a bold contrasting color?

Ugly, older gates make a poor first impression, and can potentially lower property value on your home. Having a new gate installed can make a huge difference in how your property looks. It can boost your home’s curb appeal and be a welcoming expression of your home’s style, whether it is classic, Tuscan, Southwestern or your own unique design. It is amazing how much impact a simple courtyard or entry gate can have, showing the homeowner’s pride in their property and serving as a unique architectural element.

Even gates that are less visible are important. Side gates and other pedestrian gates need to be solid and in good working order. Replacing a worn-out gate with a new wrought iron gate can improve the security of your property. Wrought iron gates are strong and long-lasting, as well as beautiful. As well as deterring unwanted visitors, a new gate will ensure that children and pets stay securely within your yard.

When selecting a company to create your new gate, you’ll want to look for a company that is experienced and has complete control over the manufacturing process. These types of gate companies can ensure the work is being done properly, and by eliminating middle-men they can pass on savings to the consumer. Top quality materials should be used, and the fabricators should inspect the gates to maintain the highest standards at every step of the manufacturing process. You’ll also want to ensure that hardware and accessories for your gates are top quality.

Installation of your gates should be done by an experienced, licensed fencing contractor. Ideally, you will be able to work with one company that can start with concept and design, manufacture the gates and do the installation, so that quality and consistency are guaranteed from start to finish.

Commercial Properties Benefit from Sliding Glass Door Closers

Sliding glass doors can be a headache for commercial and rental property owners for a number of reasons. Guests and tenants can forget to close doors, resulting in excess energy costs and increased security risk (even pool safety risks). With rising energy costs and a growing concern for the environment, securely closed doors are the first step in cutting down on wasted energy. One of the most effective and easily implemented solutions to the problem is installing automatic door closers on sliding glass doors.

Self-closing devices are installed on the sliding doors and automatically close the door anytime it is left open. The patented Ultra Glide sliding glass door closer and safety latch, made by DCS Global in Phoenix, AZ can be used on any kind of sliding door and can be color-matched to coordinate with doors and decors. These devices are unobtrusive and are the perfect way to ensure that your sliding doors will always close.

In addition to saving on energy costs, every commercial property owner wants to rest assured that their property is secure and safe for residents and guests. The Ultra Glide meets ALL swimming pool barrier requirements. Security problems can be minimized by having doors that close securely every time.

For a minimal investment and simple installation, commercial property owners can keep their investment secure as well as cutting down on energy costs and leading the way to a greener future.

Fabulous YELP Testimonial for DCS Pool Barriers

We just found this great testimonial for DCS Pool Barriers on Yelp.com:

5 stars, 3/15/10

“We had gotten three quotes for a pool fence, and all three were quite similar, so price is not a factor in my rating. The service, however, was excellent. From the original salesperson, to the two fence installers, to the person who answers their phone — all friendly, professional, helpful, not pushy at all.

About a month after installation we noticed that our gate needed a slight adjustment. They sent someone out the very next day and he fixed it right away without any issue/fees/etc.

We’ve had our fence for just about a year now and have been very pleased.” post from a.b. of Phoenix, AZ

Upgrade Your Pool Safety Barriers During Water Safety Month!

Having a pool in Arizona is a great way to stay cool in the summer, and provides an attractive and fun setting for get-togethers with family and friends. Swimming and staying active can provide health benefits for the whole family. However, pool ownership comes with the responsibility of keeping people of all ages safe around the water.

Governor Jan Brewer has proclaimed the month of May as Water Safety Month in Arizona, as part of National Water Safety month, which is a joint effort of the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP), the International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF), the Independent Pool & Spa Service Association (IPSSA), the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) and the World Waterpark Association (WWA).

The state of Arizona has the second highest number of drowning deaths in the U.S., and one of the highest rates of near drowning reports. According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, there were 87 drowning deaths in Arizona in the year 2008, 24 of which were children under the age of five.

Most drowning accidents can be prevented by establishing and following pool safety guidelines in your household. Establishing firm household rules about pool use, checking the pool area for safety, and installing pool barriers are essential steps for all pool owners to take.

Alex Tsekhanovsky, of DCS Pool Barriers in Phoenix, AZ, reinforces the fact that children should never be left unsupervised, “There’s no substitution for supervision; our products are aids to help homeowners protect their children and family members when they come over with children and friends.” DCS offers a wide variety of pool safety products, from permanent, galvanized steel fencing to patented self-latching door closers. “We always recommend layers of protection,” Tsekhanovsky says. “And our company is the only company in the Phoenix metro area that provides all of the barriers including alarms, door closers, fences and nets.”

Innovative safety options for homeowners are door alarms and self closing, self latching door devices for your home. Installing a device such as the DCS UltraGlide sliding glass door closer ensures that doors close automatically, so a child can never wander out an open door. When any door in the home is opened, a parent will be alerted by the door alarm.

Permanent, galvanized steel pool fencing is an essential component of pool safety. It should be high quality, durable and meet local pool barrier code. Gates on pool fencing should close and latch automatically. This wrought iron style of pool fencing can also be customized to match features of the home and enhance the look of the property.

For a temporary safety measure that can be used when needed and put away, removable mesh fencing is an option. This type of fencing may not meet local pool barrier code, but can be helpful if children are visiting. It can then be rolled up and stored when not in use. Along the same lines, a pool safety net can serve as an additional or temporary safety device for pools. These nets are held securely in place over the surface of the pool with pulleys and clips, and are easily removed when it’s time to swim. When used property, this is a secure barrier in preventing infants and toddlers from getting into the water.

During Water Safety Month, consider enhancing your pool safety measures. It is easy to add an additional “layer” to your pool safety devices, and doing so will provide you and your family with peace of mind that you are doing everything possible to prevent a drowning accident. Contact a knowledgeable pool safety barrier company to discuss the best options for your property and family.
