If you’re lucky enough to have a pool in your backyard, you know it’s the centerpiece of fun, relaxation, and those Instagram-worthy summer moments. But as much as we love our pools, we know they come with responsibilities, especially if you have kids or pets or just want peace of mind.

As someone who’s spent years as a general contractor building pools and installing fencing, I’ve seen firsthand how vital proper pool safety measures are. Your pool fence isn’t just a feature—it’s a critical safety barrier that protects your loved ones, especially children and pets. Keeping it in top condition is essential year-round, particularly as the seasons change. Here’s a guide to maintaining your pool fence for both winter and summer, ensuring it remains effective and compliant with safety standards.

As a passionate pool builder, I've been fortunate to witness the sheer delight a pool can bring to families. There's something magical about hearing children's laughter and joyful splashes as they dive and play in the water. It truly warms my heart! Equally wonderful is watching adults relax under the sun, sipping refreshing drinks while soaking in the tranquility. These moments create cherished summer memories—family gatherings, barbecues, and spontaneous dance parties by the pool.
