Buying a Pool Fence off Craig's List - Hiring a Pool Fence installer off Craig's List

The truth is, there are many scam artists on Craigslist and any other free listing site ready to sell you a low quality pool fence, only to install it poorly, while using the wrong equipment. This leaves you with a false sense of security and an unsafe Pool Fence.

I have done numerous pool fence repairs over the years for people who "Were just trying to save a buck" and got totally ripped off. They told me “The Company looked legitimate” and “They frequently placed ads on Craigslist so I thought they were ok.” They claimed to be a "wholesale Manufacturer" with extreemly low pricing.

I asked them these questions:

1. Did you check there name with the Better Business Bureau?

2. Did you check their profile Angie’s List?

3. Did they show you current General Liability Insurance?

The  answers I got: No, No and No.

Before you trust your child’s safety to the cheapest company around, please do your homework!

Pool Fences help keep children safe

By Kevin Post
President of Pool Guard of Tampa Bay

Summer heat means spending time out of doors and in our swimming pools. But to make sure that your little ones don’t attempt an unsupervised dip in the family pool, consider installing a Pool Guard - pool safety fence.

Pool Guard of Tampa Bay provides quality swimming pool safety fences that keep kids away from unsupervised pools. In their 15-year history, Pool Guard has installed more than 75,000 fences nationwide. Pool Guard of Tampa Bay has been serving the greater Tampa Bay area for over 5 years.

Why consider a Pool Guard fence? Accidents can happen very quickly, even when one or both parents are home. Each year, more than 300 children die nationwide as a result of accidental drowning, and thousands more are treated in emergency rooms. In Florida, drowning is the number one cause of death in children under 5. In response to these incidents, Florida enacted the Residential Pool Barrier Code in 2002. This statute requires that new pool owners either build a barrier around the pool, or install a home security system with an exit alarm on each door or window leading to the pool area. Most people building new swimming pools today choose to install removable pool safety fences with self closing pool gates to keep their families safe.

With a Pool Guard pool fence, you can rest assured that your children are protected by a quality product. “We only use top quality, American made products. That includes our premium interlocking mesh, the strongest mesh available on the market today.

Pool Guard of Tampa Bay provides a 48-hour turnaround between consultation and installation, and offers free estimates. On average, a removable pool fence can be installed in 2 hours, with prices starting around $400.

Pool Guard of Tampa Bay services all of Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties including: Westchase, Lutz, Carrollwood, Wesley Chapel, Odessa, Brandon, Palm Harbor, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Seminole, Largo and Land O’ Lakes.

Pool Fence Tampa- Reasons to buy a Pool Fence

A recent research paper written by our State Health Department titled:
Correlation of Pool Drowning Deaths
With Number of Residential Swimming
Pools by County in Florida, 2005-2007

Michael Lo, Kristal Hall, Lisa VanderWerf-Hourigan,
Bob Vincent, and Robert Pryor
has quite a bit of information to put toddler drowning deaths into perspective; especially for Hillsborough County FL;
Tampa has a large number of residential pools which is correlated with an increased incidence of toddler pool drowning; Making toddler drowning deaths somewhat predictable.
We know every year we will loose children.
Some Quotes from the paper:
Statistical modeling showed that for every 10,000 residential pools that a
County has, 2.4 additional pool drowning deaths can be expected to occur over
Three years. This relationship was therefore determined to be linearly correlated.
Greater public health impact may be achieved by focusing drowning prevention
Efforts, especially among young children, in counties with more residential pools;
And thus a greater risk of pool drowning
Of the 120 young children ages one to four who drowned in confirmed, single-family
Residential swimming pools, 82 (68.3%) drowned in a pool at their own
Home; nine (7.5%) drowned in a pool at a grandparent, uncle, or other relative’s
Home; five (4.2%) drowned in a pool at a friend’s home; five (4.2%) drowned in a
Pool at a neighbor’s home; and one (0.8%) each drowned in a pool at a babysitter’s
Home, a summer home, or a vacation rental house. Sixteen (13.3%) drowned in a
Pool at a home of another or an unspecified individual.
