The swimming pool barrier is one of the safest safety devices on the market. Design and effective, it makes the pool inaccessible when it's not in use. Discover several models on our site, in particular the rigid Securipool model, which is as attractive as it is effective for fencing off your pool.
The swimming pool barrier to effectively secure your swimming area
If you have an in-ground or in-ground swimming pool, you should know that it is important to equip your pool with at least one safety device, such as a barrier, to reduce the risk of accidental drowning.Pool protections flood the market, but only 4 are recognised as reliable to date. Here, we're referring to alarms, covers, shelters and barriers. And in this context, the latter represent an effective alternative, as the addition of a fence blocks all access to the swimming area.
If you opt for the pool barrier, you'll need to choose a model that complies with the norme NF P90-306. This guarantees the quality and effectiveness of the product. All pool owners are also obliged to install at least one approved safety device. In this article, find out everything there is to know about pool fences as well as the different versions to help you make your choice.
The pool fence, a safe and preventive option
Nothing can replace adult vigilance and supervision, but prevention is better than cure. A swimming pool barrier is a solution that prevents children from gaining free access to the water. We strongly advise you to opt for a model that is certified and approved to NF P90-306. Why is this so important? These products are a guarantee of quality, so you can take full advantage of a winning purchase.The swimming pool barrier and its special features
The NF P90-306-certified swimming pool barrier proves unpassable for children under 5. Toddlers will not be able to climb, step over or open the access leading to the pool. What's more, existing models are available with a minimum height of 1.22 m, so younger children won't be able to climb over. In addition, the fence is installed flush with the ground, preventing any objects, toys or small animals from entering the secure area.Among other things, the device features a structure that resists extraction thanks to a solid fixing system on a hard or concrete support. Your child won't risk injury by clinging to the barrier because the elements that make it up are protected by covers. This is a protective barrier that can withstand impacts or thrown objects weighing at least 50 kg.
In addition, it is incredibly resistant to corrosion, frost, heat, humidity and gales. We recommend installing the pool barrier at least 1 m from the edge inside the pool.
The different types of approved barriers
The certified and approved pool barrier comes in 3 types: fixed, removable and retractable. The choice will be based on basic criteria such as budget, shape and location of the pool.Fixed pool barriers, the most common
The fixed protective fence is intended for permanent use. These include full fences. These can come in various forms: wood, glass, PVC, transparent Plexiglas or with metal panels. There are also ventilated barriers made up of bars, mesh or trellis in particular.The fixed pool barrier is considerably more expensive than the other models, but it will all depend on your budget and the configuration of your exterior. Usually, it's sold by the linear metre or you'll need to buy a whole set of modules.
The removable pool fence, an excellent compromise
The removable pool fence is relevant for several reasons. It can be used when there are children only exceptionally (family reunion, grandchildren's visits or holidays, etc.). Easy to install, it encloses your pool when you're not at home. Removable at will, the removable pool barrier saves you from visual pollution and the discomfort it causes when there's no need to fence off the pool.This model is made up of partitions made of netting or rigid materials, including PVC, wood, etc. Net versions have the advantage of being lighter and easier to handle. Of course, everything will depend on the layout of your outdoor area and the type of pool you have. Below, we present a removable swimming pool barrier that you should adopt for its practicality and aesthetic appeal.
