A pool barrier is only as effective as its smallest gap.
The 4-inch rule is a simple but important safety check: openings in a pool barrier should not be large enough for a small child to pass through. That includes:
• Space beneath the fence
• Openings in the mesh
• Gaps between vertical poles
• Areas around gates, latches, and deck transitions
Even a small gap can become a climbing or squeezing opportunity. Over time, loose installation or sagging materials can create openings that weren’t there initially.
Professionally installed removable mesh fencing is tensioned between reinforced poles to help maintain a consistent, secure barrier. Our certified installers account for the pool deck, landscaping, and surface transitions so the fence fits your space properly: whether it’s installed on concrete, pavers, tile, wood, grass, or dirt.
A safer pool area starts with a barrier that leaves no easy path through. Walk around your fence today and look closely at the details. If you find a gap or notice sagging, contact Baby Guard AZ for a professional safety assessment.
