When it comes to your kids, safety is always the number one priority—especially in outdoor spaces. But who says safety can’t look good? With the right fences and railings, you can protect your little ones while still keeping your yard stylish and inviting. Whether you’re looking to secure a pool area, prevent accidents on a deck, or create a safe space for them to run around, you can find options that balance protection and style.
Let’s dive into the best fences, railings, and accessories to keep your kids safe and your yard looking great.
Pool Fencing: Keep Your Little Ones Safe Around Water
Having a pool can be one of the best parts of outdoor living, but safety around water is critical—especially for families with kids. These pool fences provide security without sacrificing style:
- Captiva™ Vinyl Pool Fence: The Captiva combines a classic look with exceptional strength. With 3.7” picket spacing, this fence ensures your pool area is secure from accidental access by curious little ones.
- Williamsport™ Vinyl Pool Fence: If you’re looking for a more traditional aesthetic, the Williamsport is a great option. Featuring narrower picket spacing, it’s designed to keep your pool area protected while maintaining a clean, classic appearance. Plus, it has self-closing hinges and a reliable magnetic latch for extra safety, keeping kids away from the water when you’re not around.
- Atlantis™ Vinyl Pool Fence: Want something that blends security with a more modern look? The Atlantis features alternating picket sizes for a contemporary touch while providing the strength and durability needed for pool safety.
All PVC vinyl gates come with a Trident magnetic pool gate latch and self-closing heavy-duty hinges.
Vinyl Railing: Prevent Falls Without Compromising Style
Decks, balconies, and porches are fantastic spots for relaxation, but they can also be dangerous for kids if not properly secured. Combine safety and eye-catching, modern design with these vinyl railing systems:
- Yorkshire™ Vinyl Railing: For a sleek, polished look, the Yorkshire is the way to go. Its T-rail top and sturdy design ensure it won’t budge, even with constant use. It’s easy to install and provides solid protection for decks and porches, keeping kids from climbing or falling over.
- Wiltshire™ Vinyl Railing: The Wiltshire adds a touch of elegance with its round black aluminum balusters, giving your outdoor space a unique flair. Its vinyl construction means no risk of splinters, and the durable metal inserts in both the top and bottom rails provide extra strength to withstand wear and tear.
- Bristol™ Vinyl Railing: If you’d prefer to use your existing deck boards, go with the Bristol. With Bristol railing you can use your existing boards on top of the railing, providing a flat surface (great for holding food & beverages) that perfectly matches your deck. With square spindles and a straightforward design, it’s a functional and aesthetically pleasing option. It’s also one of the strongest vinyl railings available, ensuring your deck or porch remains safe, even for the most active kids.
Other Complements: Extra Safety Features for Peace of Mind
When it comes to child safety outdoors, there are a few more key elements to consider in addition to fencing and railings:
- Gate Latches: Gate latches are an essential part of any fencing system, especially when it comes to security. Designed with rust-free components, our latches are built to last and come with self-closing hinges to ensure that gates never accidentally stay open. They provide safety and sleek design, and they’re versatile enough to be used for left or right-handed gates. Best of all, our pool fences automatically come with pool code latches that extend at least 54” in the air for child safety.
- LED Lighting: Outdoor lighting is often overlooked, but it plays a big role in safety. Consider LED post caps or low-voltage deck and rail lighting to improve visibility after dark, making it easier to keep an eye on your kids during late evening playtime. These lights are energy-efficient and easy to install.
With the right combination of fences, railings, and safety accessories, you can create a backyard that’s not only secure for your kids but also visually appealing. From pool fencing that protects your water area to stylish railings that prevent falls, you can design an outdoor environment that offers peace of mind without sacrificing style. Whether you're prioritizing safety or aiming for a yard makeover, these solutions allow you to create an outdoor space that’s functional, stylish, and built to protect your family for years to come.
