Safe Can Still Be Stunning
If you have young kids or energetic pets, your backyard pool area needs to be more than beautiful—it needs to be safe. But that doesn’t mean you have to settle for bulky fences or outdated designs.
At AE Pools and Landscape, we believe you can have both safety and style. With smart planning and modern features like glass railings, your pool can be a secure retreat that still wows your guests.
Safety Tips for Family-Friendly Pools
1. Install a Physical Barrier—Without Blocking the View
Arizona pool code requires a barrier around pools, but you don’t need to go with basic iron fencing. Tempered glass railings offer a code-compliant, low-maintenance alternative that keeps your views wide open—and your kids safely out of the water when unsupervised.
2. Choose Slip-Resistant Surfaces
We recommend materials like textured travertine or stamped concrete to prevent slips when little feet (or paws) are running around. Bonus: they also look high-end.
3. Add a Baja Shelf or Tanning Ledge
This shallow platform gives toddlers a safe place to splash while keeping them in arm’s reach. It also makes the pool more pet-friendly, giving dogs a spot to enter and exit safely.
4. Smart Lighting = Safer Nights
LED lighting in and around your pool keeps the area safe and usable after dark. We design lighting systems that highlight walkways, edges, and railing lines.
Why Glass Railings Are Ideal for Kids and Pets
-
No footholds or gaps – Unlike picket fencing, there’s nothing for kids to climb or animals to squeeze through.
-
Shatter-resistant glass – Our tempered glass panels are engineered for impact, making them both safe and durable.
-
Unobstructed supervision – Parents can keep an eye on the pool from the patio, kitchen, or anywhere in the yard.
