Many people are looking for a way to secure their residential pool area. It’s important that you choose the right type of fence, and one option is wood. Wood fences can provide privacy, they’re sturdy, and they have many other benefits as well! In this blog post, we’ll discuss 10 reasons why you should choose wood for your pool area.

Resists Corrosion

The chlorine used in treating pool water can have an impact on your new fence. Since chlorine is highly-corrosive, splashing water regularly on certain fences can cause them serious damage and deterioration. A wooden fence is more resistant to corrosion than aluminum or vinyl. This means that you won’t have to worry about the chlorine in your pool water causing it serious damage over time. Plus, if you happen to live near the coastline where saltwater and wind can be an issue for other types of material, wood will still do well!

Paintable

Wood can be naturally painted in a wide assortment of colors. This means that if you choose to paint your wood fence, the color will last much longer without fading or changing. In addition to this benefit, many people like using natural or unpainted woods for their appearance. 

Privacy Options

When swimming in your pool or tanning on your deck, you’ll want to make sure you and your family have some privacy. Keep prying eyes away from your yard and pool area. Certain wood fence styles offer nearly unbeatable privacy that keeps anyone from looking in – all while enhancing your backyard décor.

Sturdiness and Safety

Wooden fences are one of the most durable and sturdy options for pool enclosures. Because wood is a natural material, it will not chip or crack. It also does not rust which means that your fence can last for decades without needing to be touched up! A wood fence also acts as a safety feature for keeping animals and children away from your pool. This is especially critical if you have an inground pool area where running children or animals can easily fall into the pool if they aren’t paying attention. 

Variety

Choosing a wood fence for your pool enclosure can offer many different looks. Wood is available in so many types of styles and colors that you are sure to find the perfect match! You’ll also be happy to know that there are options with decorative ornaments too, like arches and trellises which will give your pool area some interest.

Peace of Mind

No one wants to think about the worst-case scenario. But when you have a wood fence surrounding your pool, it’s just that much more difficult for someone or something dangerous to get close enough to do irreparable harm. Once you have the fence in place, you can put your mind at ease and stop worrying constantly about whether an accident is just waiting to happen in your backyard. The absence of anxiety and stress alone that your child, pet, or anybody else is not in potential danger by the presence of a pool is one of the greatest benefits of setting up a wood pool fence.

Save on Insurance

Did you know the presence of a pool fence may allow you to save on your insurance? In many cases, homeowners are able to get discounts from their agent if they have a wood fence around the perimeter of their property and it’s in good condition.

Beauty

Wooden fences are often considered to be more aesthetically pleasing than other options. They look natural and inviting and can create a sense of privacy around the pool area that was not there before you installed one.

Safety Codes/Laws

Depending on where you are located, there are certain safety codes you must adhere to when hiring a contractor to install a pool in your backyard and the security measures surrounding it. If you are not sure about the requirements for your location, make sure that you contact a professional fencing contractor. They should be able to help you comply with these codes and laws.
