PROTECT A CHILD REMOVABLE POOL FENCING | www.protectachild.co.za

Protect-A-Child Fencing is fully removable, modular pool fence system which is engineered
with child safety in mind. Installation is a 2 stage process and every pool fence is custom
manufactured locally, after sleeves are secured into the ground surface. The fine weave of
our mesh is climb resistant and prevents leaves and debris from blowing into your pool.

Product Specifications
Modular panels approximately 1.2m wide, are made using a durable, UV resistant, PVC coated, glass fiber mesh or netting. The mesh looks transparent when viewed from a distance of 4 or more meters.
Reinforced, powder coated aluminium poles, insert 120mm deep into PVC sleeves which are drilled and cemented into pool paving. Adjacent panels are tensioned together horizontally at the top, using stainless steel eye bolts and wing nuts. This horizontal tensioning helps create strength and stops the vertical lifting of poles. The gap between the poles of 2 adjacent panels is 90mm max. Recommended swimming pool fence height is 1.2m. Custom manufacture allows many clients to choose a height of 1.1m.

Gate Options
Self closing gate	Self Closing gates open in towards the pool and are 750mm wide. A lockable latch is located on the inside of the fence and opened by reaching over the top. The gap between the gate frame and adjacent upright is less than 10mm and impassable for little fingers. We recommend self closing gates for most families; where there is no need to ever remove the pool fence. Self closing gates require basic tools and more time to remove and reinstall.	Lockable pool fence gate
Manual Panel Gates need to be latched, using a stainless steel toggle whenever the swimming pool area is not in use. To open the gate, 2 poles of adjacent panels need to be pulled together and a toggle unlatched. Once the tension is released, a pole lifts out of its holes and a 1.2m wide panel folds back manually into a “gate resting sleeve.” 2 Panels can easily be opened to leave a 2.4 meter wide entrance. This gate system works in conjunction with the horizontal tension in the fence and requires an adults strength to unclip the toggle. The degree of difficulty is opening the toggle is adjustable. Whenever poles are returned to their “gate closed sleeve” position, the toggle must be manually closed by an adult.
