It is important to choose a company that is experienced and has complete control over the manufacturing process. These types of fencing and 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 and fencing are of top quality.

We have our own metal shop, so we can do pretty much anything the homeowner needs where fencing and gates are concerned. Imagination is the only limitation.”

When shopping for gates and fencing for your pool, look for knowledgeable sales and design professionals who can help translate your ideas into the customized product you’ve been dreaming of, while maintaining the highest quality. They should also be familiar with local building code requirements and pool safety regulations to ensure top return on your fencing and gate investment.

Pool Safety Requirements for Doors, Sliding Door Safety Lock

The sliding door safety lock has become in important feature in Arizona homes. If you have a sliding door or hinged door that opens to a pool or spa in your yard, the law requires that all doors leading to the backyard have a safety mechanism that is self-closing and self-latching above 54″. According to the American Institute for Preventative Medicine, drowning is the 4th leading cause of accidental death in the United States; and in Maricopa County alone approximately 20 children drown each year.

Pool safety is a major issue, and should be approached by homeowners on multiple levels. The first and most important component of pool safety is supervision. A child can drown in the time it takes to answer the phone. After supervision, sliding door safety locks and door alarms provide the next line of defense in keeping children safely inside the house. Once outdoors, homeowners have a choice of pool safety barriers such as fencing and pool nets.

Sliding Glass Door Closer and Latch

Luckily, pool safety industry leaders like DSC Pool Barriers in Phoenix, are manufacturing a variety of pool safety products such as the sliding door safety lock. DCS holds the patent on the Ultra Glide sliding glass door closer and latch, which can be used on any type of sliding door. Sliding door safety mechanisms close the door automatically, safely latching the door so that children cannot open the door themselves and go outdoors unattended. Sliding door safety locks should be mounted at the top of the doors so that children cannot reach the handle to operate the lock. These innovative safety products are one way to help prevent pool related accidents. Other benefits of sliding door closers are keeping pets safely inside, and saving on energy costs when your doors close quickly every time they are opened.

Quality Sliding Door Safety Locks

When looking for quality sliding door safety locks, look for locks that will not prematurely damage the rollers and track on the sliding door, and will not be damaged if you push the door shut. Safety door locks can enhance the value of your home by meeting the required swimming pool barrier code. Choose locks that match your doors and décor in custom colors and are quality-manufactured to withstand maximum use.

Homeowners should shop carefully for these important safety products, and choose sliding door closers and latches that are high quality and long-lasting. Professional installation will ensure that the self-closing mechanism is working perfectly and that your home has an added safety measure for family and pets.

One-Stop for Pool Barriers and Fencing Needs with DCS Pool Barriers

Homeowners have a number of choices when securing their pool areas, and should look for a pool barrier manufacturer that is familiar with local regulations and offers a wide range of products for swimming pool safety.  DCS Pool Barriers in Phoenix, AZ, provides a one-stop solution for homeowners’ pool barrier and fencing needs.  DCS is the only company in the Phoenix metro area that provides all of the barriers, including alarms, door closers, fences and nets.

Pool barrier code varies from city to city in the Phoenix metro area, so homeowners should familiarize themselves with their local ordinances.  There are a number of ways homeowners can protect their families and keep their pool areas safe.  The number one tool in drowning prevention is supervision.  A child can drown in the time it takes to answer an unexpected phone call or ring of the doorbell.  Keeping children with you inside the home is a great start, and fitting your doors with alarms and self-closing, self-latching devices offers further protection.  You can prevent children from opening doors by themselves, and be warned with an alarm when a door is opened.

Once outside the home, galvanized steel pool fencing is an excellent option for keeping your pool area secure.  If you don’t have children in your home, but perhaps have visiting family or grandchildren, removable mesh fencing is an option.  This fencing can be removed, rolled up and put away when children are not in the home.  Inside the pool area, another option for pool safety is a pool safety net.  These high-quality nets stretch across the surface of the pool, so small that children cannot reach the water.  The downside to pool nets is that the homeowner must be vigilant about replacing the net after swimming, so that the pool is never left uncovered.  The temporary options of removable fencing and pool nets do not meet pool barrier code in the Phoenix metro area, but are excellent options when used in conjunction with other pool safety products.

Creating a safe environment for family fun doesn’t have to be difficult.  Armed with knowledge of the variety of pool barrier safety products available, homeowners can enhance their properties and prevent needless tragedies.

The Importance of Pool Barrier Layers

Pool safety and drowning prevention is a concern for homeowners with swimming pools.  There’s no one single step a homeowner can take to be one-hundred percent safe – the issue of swimming pool safety should be approached with the idea of applying “layers” of prevention that all add up to peace of mind for pool owners.

The first layer of swimming pool safety is supervision.  There is no substitute for knowing where children are at all times when in homes or neighborhoods with swimming pools.  When children are in the home with adults, the next layer of swimming pool safety is door alarms and self closing, self latching door devices. DCS Pool Barriers in Phoenix, AZ, manufactures and installs a patented sliding glass door closer.  Installing a device such as the DCS UltraGlide ensures that doors close automatically, so a child can never wander out an open door.  Using door alarms offers the extra benefit of alerting adults when any door in the home is opened.

Outside of the home, the next layer of pool barrier safety is permanent, galvanized steel pool fencing.  High quality fencing can be customized by the manufacturer so that it is not only durable and meets local pool barrier code, but will blend with the style of the home and property.  This type of pool safety barrier is built to last, and can enhance property values.

If children don’t live in the home but are frequent visitors, the homeowner may opt for removable mesh fencing.  This type of fencing may not meet local pool barrier code, but can be effective as a temporary solution for homeowners.  This mesh fencing’s transparent look allows a clear view of the pool area at all times.  When not needed, the fencing can be rolled up and stored out of sight.

Within pool fencing, the final layer of pool safety is a pool safety net.  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. This is a secure barrier in preventing infants and toddlers from getting into the water when used properly.  Obviously, to be effective it does require that the homeowner always replace the net after swimming.  A pool net is unobtrusive and preserves views.

Additional “layers’ of safety are education oriented.  Teaching children water safety and swimming are valuable skills, as well as being sure that children follow house rules for pool safety.  CPR certification is beneficial in case of emergency; although the hope is that a child never reaches the water unsupervised.

Contact a knowledgeable pool safety barrier company to discuss the best options for your property and family.  By combining pool safety barriers with supervision and education, your family and friends can enjoy fun in the sun safely.
