Pool fence posts are basically 1" diameter posts extending 4' (1.22m_ to 5' (1.57m) up out of the post hole to support the fence posts. Consider the stress placed upon the base of the pool fence post when a child, pet or adult leans against the pool fence mesh. All of that force is concentrated at the base of the post. When using metal aluminum posts, bending and breakage can be a problem as a result of the leverage on those posts. This is one reason Protect-A-Child's composite fiberglass pool fence support posts are so amazing. They can't break or become bent. For those who just prefer to use an aluminum support post it is critical that this post be reinforced where the stress is greatest. Only Protect-A-Child's SILVER SERIES aluminum post mesh pool fences incorporate double wall aluminum tubes solidly reinforced at this critical fulcrum point. This make them far stronger that competing pool fence posts.
To produce this fence we start with a thick wall (.063”), sturdy aluminum tube and reinforce the base with a second .063” aluminum tube insert. This double wall reinforcement creates the strongest aluminum post fence available.
Become educated about aluminum post mesh pool fences:
Protect-A-Child has offered aluminum support posts in our mesh pool fence line for 26 years. We have installed and serviced tens of thousands of aluminum post mesh pool fences. Our experience with aluminum support post mesh pool fences goes back to the original inventor of the mesh pool fence in 1963. We have direct experience with the first mesh pool fences ever built. They were only 42” tall and used a hollow .063” wall tube as support. Prior to starting Protect-A-Child, our owner sold, installed, and serviced hundreds of those fences. That field experience has shown us minimum strength requirements for pool fence posts. His years of field experience provide the basis for how Protect-A-Child Pool Fence Company builds fences today.
In the mesh pool fence industry today we see several varieties of aluminum support posts – most commonly with an X or Y extrusion built into the post. Protect-A-Child has seen them all in action in our quarter century of experience. Such extrusions offer little strength at the base of the pool fence post where screw holes have been drilled to attach the mesh and weakened the metal. This bottom screw hole weakens the X and Y aluminum tube at the critical fulcrum point where 4' or 5' of leverage is concentrated and focused when a child bumps into the fence. When stress is applied to the post from children bumping in to it during play, such posts will first bend and then snap off cleanly at ground level allowing your child access to the pool.
We have replaced too many weak aluminum posts such that we won't produce a pool fence with weak aluminum posts. This is why all Protect-A-Child aluminum post pool fences incorporate double wall reinforcement at the critical “fulcrum” stress point where posts break.
