Glass fencing - Pool safety and security built in
The majority (74%) of pool drownings are young children aged 4 years or under.
“Children aged 0-4 years mostly enter the water by accident. 74% of reported fatalities between 2018 and 2022 were said to occur where the child had fallen into the water unexpectedly. This highlights the importance continued supervision of young children around water and ensure that homes are adapted to minimise the risk of drowning.”
The RLSS guidance in prevention of accidental drowning is to stop children gaining access to ponds and pools by “installing secure fencing”.

pool safety fences and barriers - The idea is simple, if children cannot access the pool area they cannot fall in.
We want to help you add safety to your pool area, the whole idea behind the system is to prevent accidents, mainly involving young children from accessing the pool area.
The definition of an accident is “a preventable occurrence”. Whilst we would advocate education is the best form of safety, by installing a fully frameless glass pool fence with our unique self-closing/self-latching & lockable gate you are preventing such occurrences which are sometimes fatal and always traumatic.
Unlike safety devices such as hard retractable covers and alarms, our child proof glass safety fences work 24/7. A cover only works when it is closed and alarms are notorious for either not working or being switched off due to false alarms. For a working alarm to be activated, something or someone needs to fall in the pool..........just think about that for a moment!
Our frameless glass swimming pool safety fences and barriers are designed to comply with the French AFNOR NF P90-306 pool safety regulations and the idea is to prevent children up to 5 years old from obtaining their own access to the swimming pool.
A stroke of genius - practical, beautiful and we love it! The glass fencing and the Jack Rabbit Foundation will be life-savers.
