What are the Requirements for pool fence in New Jersey?

To be compliant and to code, a homeowner must have a property fence enclosing the property in New Jersey. If you do not have a property fence, then installing a pool fence can help bring your backyard up to code. If the pool fence is a secondary fence to a property/perimeter fence, then there are no requirements. Always check with your local City/Town to get the correct code information.

How safe is the mesh pool fencing?

The mesh pool fencing uses the strongest industrial mesh available. It is constructed with Textilene® polyester mesh fabric, and is woven with a continuous basket weave that boasts an incredible tensile strength rating of 270 lbs. per inch making it impossible to rip under normal use.

Will my child be able to climb over the pool fence?

One of the best aspects of a mesh pool fence is that the mesh fabric is very climb-resistant. Since it provides no foothold unlike other fencing, it is nearly impossible for small children to climb up or over the fence.

How much does a Life Saver pool fence cost?

The cost of your pool fence will vary depending on whether or not you choose to upgrade your fence. We will discuss the cost of your pool fence with you when we come to your home for your free pool fence estimate.

How long will my pool fence last?

All of our pool fence products are made from the highest-quality materials and are extremely strong and durable. Our mesh fences are made of mesh fabric that utilizes a mildew resistant polyvinyl coating that provides years of use in harsh sunlight and harsh northeastern winter conditions. You can expect to get years of use out of your pool fence. Plus, it is covered by a limited lifetime warranty.

How high should my pool safety fence be in my New Jersey home?

In New Jersey State, residential swimming pools must be entirely enclosed by a wall, fence or other type of barrier that meets the following specifications:

  • The barrier must have a minimum height of five feet
  • Openings in the fence must prevent a sphere-shaped object of four inches in diameter from passing through
  • The fence must not contain any openings, handholds, or footholds that are accessible from the exterior side of the enclosure which can be used to climb the structure
  • The barrier must be a minimum of 20 inches from the edge of the water

What is the benefit of installing a self-closing, self-locking pool gate?

Pool gates undergo thousands of openings and closings over the course of its lifetime, which means it is one of the most important components of your pool fence. A self-closing, self-latching pool gate is automatic and provide better protection for your pool.

Is the fence sturdy? Can my child pull or push it down?

Our pool fences are extremely strong and cannot be knocked down by a child. We use the strongest industrial mesh currently available in the market, as well as patented pool fence poles. These solid core reinforced aluminum poles we use have a solid reinforced center and are the highest performance pole wall found in the industry today.

What types of surfaces can you install your pool fences into?

Life Saver pool fences can be installed in any type of deck including pavers, wood, concrete, stone, and soil.

Do you offer a warranty on the fence?

Yes, we provide a Limited Lifetime Warranty on all of our pool fences and pool gates.

Where are your fences built?

Life Saver pool fences are built right here in the United States and have been designed to exceed even the highest safety standards.

What can I expect on the day of installation?

On installation day, we will review everything to ensure it all looks right and once we have your final okay, you will have your new pool fence installed in just a matter of hours!

What options are available with your pool fence?

Our pool fence is offered in a variety of styles and colors including black, brown, green, tan, and white, with custom color combinations available. They can be 42, 48, or 60 inch heights and with additional upgrade options available. Keep in mind however that regardless of color or upgrade option, we only sell one grade fence – which is the safest around.

Is the fence easy to take down once it’s installed? We only need it when family members with children are over.

Yes! Our pool fence system is very simple to remove and store especially if you only need to keep it up when children are in your home. You can see just how easy it is to put up and take down here (skip to 00:56!).

Why should I consider installing a pet fence?

Pet fences are a great way to prevent your pet from an accidental drowning, but also to keep them pet out of the pool so they don’t cause any damage to your liner. Pet pool fences are also ideal for people who own pets who may be partially blind and may not realize they are near the pool.
