Installing a Pool Safety Net and “Winterizing” Your Pool
As the swimming season comes to an end and the pool toys and floaties are put away, it is time to winterize your pool. You need to balance the alkalinity, the pH and the calcium hardness of the pool water. The skimmer baskets, solar blankets and wall fittings need to be cleaned. The cleaners and chemicals need to be stored in a safe place. The pool should be cleaned and shocked before adding winter algaecide (if necessary).
Well that was a bit of a chore! You’ve taken care of the pool and water, but you are not finished. What about the safety net that should be on your pool? A mesh safety net provides protection for your family, while maintaining the beauty and ambiance of your back yard. Safety nets take up less space and provide a flexible, secure barrier that prevents children and animals from entering the pool water unseen or unheard during the “winter” months.
At DCS Pool Barriers, providing pool safety barriers is our business, but pool safety is everyone’s responsibility!

Sliding Glass Door Closers – A Simple Solution for Hotels and Resorts
Picture a resort property with beautiful views of the pool, the ocean or breathtaking mountains. Multiple floors feature balconies with sliding doors so that guests can take advantage of the surrounding views. Throughout the peak season, can you imagine how many of those doors remain open as guests wander in and out, from room to balcony, and also sit outside while leaving their sliding door open? Balconies and patios are a part of properties that have gorgeous settings that guest want to enjoy, which means doors will be left open.
The impact of having sliding doors left open can be major. On a summer’s day, temperatures can be at a low of the 80s, and humidity can skyrocket, resulting in hot days that are perfect for enjoying a vacation, but can result in extra costs for the property owner. When you add those open sliding doors to the equation, energy usage can drastically increase as the air conditioning unit works harder to maintain a cool temperature and reduce the humidity in the room. Because your air conditioning units are worker harder due to open sliding glass doors, they will most likely also have higher maintenance costs and a shorter life overall. Humidity can also create problems in your facility resulting in damage to painted finishes, carpets and other fixtures, leaving property owners with higher maintenance and cleaning costs.
Let’s face it – guests don’t care about your energy and maintenance costs. They can often leave their sliding door open for hours while they sit outside. Additionally, the safety of children in the room can be compromised when they have access to an unsupervised balcony because the sliding door has been left open. Bugs and other pests can have easy access to guest rooms when doors are left open. Not only can this be an unpleasant problem for the guests, but over time can result in costly pest control and maintenance costs for the property owner.
Since it’s impossible to control guests’ behavior, what is the solution? The easy and cost-effective answer to the problem is to install sliding glass door closers, such as the Ultra-Glide, which is a patented device manufactured by DCS Global in Phoenix, Arizona.
A sliding glass door closer such as the Ultra-Glide 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 the sliding doors throughout your property will always close.
The Ultra Glide is especially effective, because it will not be damaged if the door is pushed shut, and it will not prematurely damage the rollers and track on the patio doors, ensuring long life for your sliding doors. The device enables property owners to retain the value and long life of your sliding doors.
For a minimal investment and easy installation, commercial property owners can address a number of potential problems by eliminating the problem of open sliding glass doors. Your property will be more energy efficient, pest free and safer for your guests and their children. You can’t nag your guests to close the door behind them, but you can take charge of your property with the simple solution of sliding glass door closers.

The 2010 Pool Safely Summer Snapshot
CPSC and HSC Release Summer Figures on Child Drownings
WASHINGTON, D.C. – As children across America go back-to-school, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Home Safety Council (HSC), a Pool Safely campaign partner, are releasing a snapshot on drowning incidents for the 2010 summer swimming season.
On average, more than 200 children younger than 15 drown in pools or spas between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Media reports suggest that this year, unfortunately, has been no different. “The 2010 Pool Safely Summer Snapshot on Pool Safety in the United States” indicates that at least 172 children younger than 15 have drowned since Memorial Day weekend, according to media reports collected nationwide. In addition, there have been more than 180 non-fatal incidents involving children in pools and spas, according to media accounts. With such a high number of child drownings and non-fatal incidents, CPSC and HSC are calling for added vigilance at pools and spas this Labor Day weekend and beyond.
2010 Summer Snapshot
More than 350 Child Drownings and Non-Fatal Incidents
Since Memorial Day Weekend
Florida 14 drownings; 19 non-fatal incidents
Texas 12 drownings; 17 non-fatal incidents
“Back to school does not mean the end of the swimming season. Many children in warm weather states have fun in the water all year,” said Inez Tenenbaum, CPSC Chairman. “Far too many families have been impacted by child drownings this summer. We are calling on the public to Pool Safely this holiday weekend and keep kids safe in the water.”
“Families with above or in-ground pools and spas must be vigilant about pool supervision, especially when there are children present,” said Meri-K Appy, president of the non-profit Home Safety Council. “When a pool or spa is a part of your day-to-day life, it’s easy to take for granted that your family members are following pool safety rules. Always have an adult actively watching whenever children are in or near the water.”
In addition, Ms. Appy reminds families that the safest pools have four-sided fencing that blocks direct access from the home. Fences should have self-closing and self-latching gates.
Additional safety steps include pool alarms on doors leading from the home to the pool area, heavy-duty pool covers, as well as anti-entrapment safety drain covers. According to Tenenbaum and Appy, being prepared means taking some steps such as having rescue equipment and a cordless phone poolside in case of emergency, and being trained means knowing how to do CPR and ensuring that children know how to swim.
This summer, the Pool Safely campaign released a series of public service announcements that remind the American public how to stay safe in and around pools and spas. The Pool Safely campaign also The Pool Safely campaign also debuted a kids safety education program that includes an educational video and online activity to help parents teach children about danger spots in and around pools and spas. These campaign resources can be viewed by visiting www.PoolSafely.gov.

Arizona Pool Safety Gate Never More Beautiful!
This is a fence we installed last week by DCS Pool Barriers:
Pool Gate-Adds Beauty and Safety to Property
Every other picket was “twisted” to add to the decorative look and still comply with all the safety requirements of the city.
Decorative “Acorn” caps were also added to the posts for added elegance.

Pool Gates Can be Beautiful and Add Style to Your Property
If you have fencing or block walls surrounding your property or pool, naturally you’ll need gates. Gates don’t have to be purely functional and boring – they can be used to add beauty and style to your property. Gates are a completely versatile way to express your personal style and enhance the value of your home. Look at this great portfolio of custom gates recently built by DCS.

Pool Fencing Options
Today, there are so many options for fencing properties, with a wide variety of styles in wood, metal and incorporating stone or block. The fence is still the first thing people see, and it is a reflection of pride in property ownership. Fences are also functional, especially when it comes to pool safety and general property security. A ramshackle or aging fence not only diminishes curb appeal, but reduces security and peace of mind. Today, a customized wrought-iron fence surrounding a pool area or entire property is not only an effective barrier, but also makes a statement in terms of personal style and pride in homeownership.
DCS Pool Barriers has great fencing options to choose from for your pool!

DCS specializes in refinishing old wrought iron or aluminum fencing, furniture and railing
DCS technicians will repair or replace rusted pickets or posts, making our fence repair service a significant money saver when compared to replacing the entire fence! We use the latest in technology for refinishing wrought iron fencing: Electrostatic Painting.
Electrostatic painting is the premier system for coating metal surfaces on site with no mess or “over-spray”. More specifically, electrostatic painting is a process of painting that uses negative and positive charges to adhere paint to a metal surface. The electrostatic force is so powerful that it even pulls the paint around corners, ensuring a smooth, even coat without drip marks.
We can also take down your existing fence and gate and have it sandblasted and re-powder coated.
