Components And Assembly
Protect-A-Child incorporates only the highest quality UV resistant
materials as well as only brass, stainless steel, or aluminum metal
components. Understanding the role of these
components will help you make an informed decision regarding your
choice of pool fences. Below is a brief description of those materials:
PVC COATED POLYESTER MESH:
At Protect-A-Child, we offer only one type of mesh on our fences. PVC coated polyester mesh has been used exclusively in Protect-A-Child Pool Fences for over 25 years. In the field, it has proven to stand the test of time, children, and weather - from the blazing deserts of Arizona to the unforgiving winters of Minnesota. Under normal pool fence use it will not rot, tear, stretch, or fade. We have considered the technical specifications of other types of mesh commonly offered by competitors. In all respects these meshes are inferior in strength, abrasion, and UV resistance. Therefore we find no reason to offer additional mesh options that would sacrifice safety merely to try and differentiate our product.
PROTECT-A-CHILD’S PVC COATED MESH IS STRONGER!
Side by side tests comparing the PVC Coated Polyester mesh in Protect-A-Child Pool Fencing to competing “coated interlock weave” meshes such as Mega Mesh and others - prove ours to be stronger, more abrasion resistant, and lighter in weight. Although the woven strands of our mesh are thinner than competing knitted fabrics they are far stronger. These thinner strands are also more transparent allowing you an unobstructed view of your pool and patio.
OUR EXCLUSIVE WEAVE IS 20% MORE TRANSPARENT!
Protect-A-Child's exclusive wider weave is also more transparent than competitors. Our 10x10 weave is 20% more open and transparent than competitors 12 x12.

MOLD AND MILDEW RESISTANT!
The smooth PVC coating on our mesh sheds both water and dirt. This allows our fence mesh to remain clean and mildew free. Compare the side by side microscopic photographs of our smooth, slick, PVC coated mesh with the rough, rubbery coating found on coated, knitted fabrics. You'll see why Protect-A-Child's PVC coated polyester mesh is the smart choice for your pool fence.
While others may claim superiority, only Protect-A-Child's exclusive open weave PVC coated polyester mesh has the appearance, test data, and "field" experience to prove it is the best possible mesh for mesh pool fencing.
Protect-A-Child's Textilene®" fence mesh also gives you
a more open weave than competitors who also offer a Textilene®"
mesh. Due to our quantity purchasing, we offer an exclusive 10x10
weave. (10 threads per inch) This is 20% more open and more transparent
than competitors 12x12 weave.
While others may claim superiority, only Protect-A-Child's exclusive
open weave Textilene has the appearance, test data, and "field"
experience to prove it is the best possible mesh for mesh pool
fencing.
BORDER MATERIAL, THREAD, AND SEWING:
 We utilize only heavy, marine grade border materials and high
grade UV resistant thread to provide the finished edging to our
Textilene® mesh. Protect-A-Child Pool Fences often pass from
family to family protecting children for many years. Quality border
materials, sewing, and thread make this possible. Our borders
are sewn to our mesh on both the top and bottom of the border
to provide a solid attachment of border material to the mesh.
24 years experience sewing our borders in this manner with the
same thread and –0- failures confirm that additional lines
of sewing in the border do nothing to add quality.
FASTENERS AND METAL COMPONENTS:
Every metal component used in Protect-A-Child Pool Fencing is stainless
steel, brass, or aluminum to prevent rust and eliminate maintenance.
In a pool fence designed for outdoor child safety, we find steel
components (sometimes referred to as "rust resistant" or "plated")
to be totally unacceptable. Since rust can disable a safety latch
we use strictly stainless steel hardware in our latches. This
assures your fence will look new and attractive for years to come.
ASSEMBLY:
We assemble our fences with a minimum of 16 stainless steel screws
per pole (in the 48" height) to assure a secure attachment of
mesh to post. We utilize only round head screws and identical
drilling patterns for a smooth safe finish and uniform quality
appearance. We also utilize a special assembly process that removes
wrinkles from the fence mesh at the time of assembly. The result:
A more attractive fence around your pool.
POST SPACING:
Protect-A-Child Pool Fences in the 3 ½’ and 4’ heights are assembled
with posts attached to the mesh on 36” centers. 5’ tall
fences are assembled with posts on 30” centers to help support
the increased leverage from the taller height. Because we use the strongest
fence posts on the market in both lines of Protect-A-Child Pool Fencing,
our 36” spacing on the 3 ½’ and 4’ fences allow
for a more attractive fence with fewer holes in your patio surface yet
do not sacrifice strength.
POLYVINYL SLEEVING:
Polyvinyl sleeving for removable mesh pool fences was innovated by Protect-A-Child
many years ago. Polyvinyl sleeves eliminate electrocution hazards around
your swimming pool and are a requirement to meet the National Electrical
Code and pass your final pool inspection. Our polyvinyl sleeves incorporate
the thickest sleeve walls in the industry to stand up to the rigors
of numerous insertions and removals of your fence. They are twice the
thickness of competitors sleeving. Beware of fences that might offer
thin wall plastic sleeves or outdated and possibly illegal aluminum
sleeving.
