Childproof Your Pool with a Baby Lock Fence
At Great Falls Pools, we believe safety comes first—especially when children are around water. A swimming pool is a fun and exciting feature, but without the right precautions, it can also pose risks. Our Baby Lock fence installation offers trusted protection for families across McLean, Vienna, Oakton, Burke, Falls Church, Arlington, Sterling, Loudoun County, Fairfax County, Northwest DC, and Potomac, MD.
Before children understand the dangers of swimming unsupervised, it’s your responsibility to secure your pool. Just like outlet covers and cabinet locks protect little ones indoors, a Baby Lock pool fence protects them outdoors.
What Kind of Safety Does Your Family Need?
Your child’s age and mobility determine the level of protection required. Once a baby begins to crawl or scoot, you’ll need a secure, fully enclosed pool fence.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, “Drowning remains the leading cause of death among children ages 1 to 4 years old.” Additionally, “Between 2019 and 2021, there was an average of 358 pool- or spa-related fatal drownings reported per year, and 75% of those victims were younger than 5 years of age.” That’s why we recommend installing a Baby Lock fence before your child becomes mobile.
As toddlers grow and start exploring, it’s important to add childproof locks to gates—similar to safety locks on kitchen cabinets. These features help prevent curious kids from opening the gate on their own.
In some areas, a fence is not just recommended—it’s required. Always check with your HOA or local building codes when installing or renovating a pool.
Teach Pool Safety from the Start
As soon as your children begin to follow household rules, it’s time to start talking about pool safety. Teach them that swimming is only allowed when an adult is present. Remind them to walk—not run—on wet surfaces, and to ask permission before entering the pool area. Keeping toys, floats, and gear out of walkways also helps prevent trips and falls.
With a clear plan and supervision, your backyard can stay both safe and fun.
Baby Lock Fence Styles That Blend with Your Yard
A pool fence doesn’t have to be an eyesore. Our Baby Lock fences come in a variety of styles and materials, including wood, metal, and mesh. Whether you want to enclose only the pool or a larger section of your yard, we’ll help you find a design that fits your home.
When your children are older and ready to follow pool safety rules on their own, we can remove the fence and restore your open layout—no permanent changes needed.
Protect What Matters Most
Installing a Baby Lock pool fence gives you peace of mind every time your child plays outside. It’s a small step with a big impact.
