Pool Handrails

Swimming pool handrails are a practical accessory that makes entry and exit safe and secure. Installing outdoor pool railings help prevent accidents from occuring and ensure pool protection and safety. In most cases, pool railings can even help save lives and prevent serious accidents from taking place.

If you have small children, it is impossible for you to keep your eyes on them 24/7. In order to alleviate some of the panic when your child is running around poolside, swimming pool railings shield your loved ones away from harm’s way. All it takes is a moment of distraction or inattention for a child to wander off into the backyard and fall into an unattended, uncovered pool. That is why by law, inground pools need handrails that are specifically designed for pool protection. Above ground pools require handrails for steps too.

For certified and safe pool railings, there are requirements homeowners must meet, though they can vary from region to region. Generally speaking in Canada, pool handrails must be at least four feet in height to prevent children, especially toddlers, from climbing over them. Another important feature for your pool railing is a self-locking feature. Make sure to keep this lock out of children’s reach.

Another noteworthy benefit of installing pool railings is the fact that they provide a great deal of privacy so that you can enjoy family time in the pool in total privacy. They help keep your backyard pool secure from invasive wild animals, such as raccoons, and other unwanted guests and trespassers.

In addition to all of the excellent safety features, installing elegant and stylish pool railings help enhance the look of your backyard, personifying a space similar to your own private resort. Pool handrails and railings are not only protective, but can also help increase the curb appeal of your home. Most notably for a ladder which is such a big accessory as it is, handrails paired with a pool ladder is a nice aesthetic touch.

Speaking of visual appeal, stainless steel pool handrails and ladders are an in-fashion style for the well equipped pool. Durable and attractive, these modern styled pool handrails are also an important deep end safety device, and required for pools with diving boards or dive rocks.

In addition to using handrails for pool steps, it’s equally as important to accommodate ladders with pool handrails. When going up the steep, sometimes slippery steps, a railing for the pool ladder makes travel safer and easier for swimmers of all ages.

When going forth with the installation of pool handrails, you need to install the correct type in order to reap all the safety benefits. A four-sided pool railing system that separates your pool from both your home and your yard is ideal. If you have found a model that meets the appropriate safety requirements, you’re free to install pool railings for stairs, ladders, etc that are suited to your aesthetic preferences too.
