Q.
What is the best location for the fence to be installed?
A. Whilst
there are no hard and fast guidelines in the Canaries at
the moment, we recommend that the fence is installed a
minimum of 1 metre away from the water's edge. The most
important element is that there are no access points to
the pool directly from the house or garden, so the
location will depend on the garden and pool area in
relation to the house. For these reasons, we recommend
that you take advantage of our free safety assessment.

Q.
Can this fence be installed into grass or other
surfaces? A.
Yes, our fencing system can be
installed into your lawn, artificial grass or picon. You
have the option of having concrete pads laid beneath an
artificial grass or picon surface, or using a 24" (0.6m)
'dirtspike' in place of the sleeve used in tiled
installations.
The dirtspike is driven into the lawn
and the top of the dirtspike acts as the receptor
sleeve for the stainless steel rod. The pros and
cons of each option will be discussed prior to any
order.

Q.
How big are the holes which would be drilled into my
terrace and what would they look like when the fence is
not in place?
A. The holes for our
Premier fencing system are 5/8" (16mm) in diameter and
approximately 4" (10cm) deep. When the fence is removed,
the holes are covered with the protective caps supplied
with each fence.

Q.
How strong is the
fence? A.
A 200lb (approx. 90Kg) adult can lean against the fence,
but please remember that it is designed to protect
children, not adults!

We recommend that you take a couple of minutes to
watch our video
demonstration which gives a visual answer to
these questions

|
Q.
How safe are
the fence and gate?
A.
The mesh surface does
not allow finger or toe holds, thus making our fence
one of the least climbable fences available.
There are no gaps at the bottom of the fence for a
child to squeeze though.
The self-closing gate, in addition to having no top
cross bar, has sloping hinges to prevent children
from gaining a foothold and pulling themselves up.
However, no system is 100% absolute. It is
imperative for parents and guardians to understand
that no system is a substitute for adult
supervision.
|
|
Q.
How is the fence
kept clean?
A. Simply by hosing it down! Much easier to
keep clean than a perspex or glass fencing option, which
in the dusty, windy Canarian climate can quite easily
lose its' transparency! If necessary, a mild detergent
can be used to remove any spots.

Q.
Is it easy to remove the fence and how long does it
take? A.
Removal is very easy for an average adult, requiring
height, strength and leverage which young children don't
posess. Take a look at our video demonstration to see
how quickly and simply it can be taken down and put back
up. Removal takes approximately 10 minutes for a fence
which is 15m long.
|
Q.
What
are the poles made of? Do they rust?
A. The poles
are made of marine grade T6 aluminium,
reinforced internally with Schedule 80 PVC pipe and
a stainless steel pin. Nothing on this fence can
rust.
|
|
Q.
What is the life expectancy of the fence? Does it come
with a warranty?
A. The fence
comes with a lifetime manufacturer's warranty for the
original owner against defects in materials and
workmanship.
The
installation of the fence is guaranteed for a period of
12 months by Peace of Mind Pool Safety, Canarias.
However, as we cannot know what the foundations of the
site are like ie. the ground may be unstable and move
with time or there may be a potential of flooding etc.,
we do not guarantee the full base work for more than 6
months.

|
Q.
Does the fence also protect animals? How would it hold
up against a big dog?
A. Although
this particular fence is not designed to protect
animals, it can prevent, for example, a small dog from
falling into your pool. The Premier pool safety fencing
can be damaged by a larger animal, but we can provide a
fence with a special type of mesh which is very pet
resistant. This is a Guardian safety fencing product
with a patent pending - please enquire for more
information.

Q.
How quickly would my fence be here if I placed an order?
A. This would
depend on your choice of height and/or colour. If we
have the fence in stock, we will be able to provide you
with a delivery/installation date as soon as you place
your order. If we would need to place a special order
with our supplier in California, we can normally get the
fence here and installed within 4 weeks.
|
|
Q.
How do I place an order and what payment methods do you
accept?
A. The normal
process is for you to contact us, either by telephone or
email, to arrange a time where we can assess & measure
up your pool area. We would then provide you with a no
obligation quotation, including installation if
required. If you place an order, we require 50% deposit
and the balance would be payable within 7 days of
installation. We accept payment in Euros by cash, Paypal,
debit or credit card.

Q.
If I wanted to install a fence myself, what equipment
would I need?
A. A rotary
drill (preferably SDS), 5/8" (16mm) masonary drill bits,
tape measure, electricians tape and a few small hand
tools (please see Installation page). Easy installation
instructions are provided with every order, including an
instructional DVD. All necessary hardware for the fence
and gate is included for installation into your terrace.

Q.
How much does the
fence cost?
A.
Purchase: Our
standard price is
€80
per linear metre and
€500
for our patented self-closing gate, but we do have a
variety of discount options, depending on the length of
fence required. There is also a 'showhouse' discount
available and we occasionally also offer free
installation. Please email us for a full price list
which includes all current discounts available.
A. Buy Now,
Pay from Holiday Rental Income: You can have a
safety fence installed but
in
this case, no discounts apply and the payment terms are
50% payable when the order is placed, with the balance
payable in either 3 or 4 instalments, as and when you
require the fence to be put up.
e.g. If the total cost of the fence is 1000€, then you
would pay 500€ when you place your order and then either
166.67€ on the next 3 occasions that you use the fence
or 125.00€ on the next 4 occasions that you use the
fence.
This means that each time you achieve a booking from a
family with young children who ask for the fence, you
are paying for your fence from money received from
bookings. The fence would remain our property until the
final payment is made.
A.
Hire Option:
In
this case there is a charge for installation of 8€ per
metre plus the cost of any additional materials required
(e.g. in the case of installation into grass/picon or
other soft surface, the installation would require the
use of dirtspikes &/or concrete).
You are then in a position where you can advertise your
villa with a child-safe pool (including photos which we
will supply) and you can hire a safety fence from us as
and when required at a cost of 5€ per panel* per week.
If at any point you then wished to purchase a safety
fence from us, we would provide you with an up to date
quotation.
Of
course, to minimise the cost to yourself even more, you
could charge a weekly fee to your guests if they wish to
take advantage of the pool safety fence. One of our
customers hired out his fence to guests for 75 Euro per
week!
*
a panel is 0.91m (3ft) in length
