Pool fences can add an additional layer of safety, if they are used properly. Keep gates locked and make sure your fence is high and sturdy enough to keep kids from climbing over the fence to access your pool. Aluminum or mesh-panel fences are generally the safest, but again, check any specific requirements for your neighborhood or location to determine the best material and size specifications for your pool fence.
