It is important that all the installations in your home are inspected on a regular basis for their wellness and effectiveness and this also includes your swimming pool fencing. This fencing is critical from the safety point of view and thus, it has to be ensured that the entire installation is in perfect shape before the arrival of the summer season.

This can be done with the help of pre-season inspection of the safety pool fences and ensuring that any flaw or defect is taken care of well in time.

Here are some very common steps that you need to take as a part of preseason inspection.

Ensure That Pool Fence Poles Are Properly Seated-

  • According to the experts, this step or inspection is always important, but it becomes really very important, if pool cover was used to keep it covered during the off-season.
  • The reason is that often swimming pool maintenance contractors apply this cover that take parts of the fence down, but they don’t put it back up properly.
  • This could be a safety hazard for your kids and pets and if this defect is present, you need to get it repaired immediately.
  • In a majority of cases, this issue can be resolved by removing and then, repairing the part that is in trouble.
  • You can also take a wet cloth and wipe off any dirt from the end of the pool fence poles that go into the pool fence deck sleeves.

Check All Latch Connection Points-

  • In a safety pool fencing, there are latches used to keep sections of the fence connected in non-removable pool fencing.
  • During the inspection process, you need to make sure that these latches are fitted really firmly and should be tight enough so a child could not undo them.

Check Your Self-Closing, Self-Latching Gate-

  • You need to confirm that the gate is fully inserted and is firmly established in its place.
  • Also see that it self-closes and in such a way that it acts as a perfect barrier between kids and your swimming pool.
