Pool Fence Installer New Jersey and Pennsylvania

How to Maintain Beauty and Safety with Swimming Pool Fences…

A swimming pool is a major attraction to both adults and children. A pool provides water fun that is irresistible. However, a swimming pool is just as dangerous as it is fun. Most children between the ages of 1 and 4 who drown do so in swimming pools according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Laws are in place to help maintain residential and public swimming pool safety. Fences surrounding pools are a large part of safety regulations. BOCA Pool Fence Codes contain government guidelines for correct fencing for swimming pools. Many municipalities start with this code and then expand into their own safety codes. You as a homeowner are responsible that your pool complies with local safety ordinances. We are local fencing contractors who are aware of all the local codes and can advise you of the proper installation of swimming pool fences.

You have a choice of chain link, vinyl, wood, aluminum steel or wrought iron. The 3 most popular materials in a swimming pool fence are:

Aluminum

This is the most popular of swimming pool fence available because of its beauty, light weight and durability. The panels are powder coated to last forever and provide a smooth finish. Aluminum is maintenance-free.

Aluminum fencing is often mistaken for wrought iron; however, wrought iron is much heavier and more expensive than aluminum. This material is ideal for high humidity areas such as swimming pools.

Vinyl

Vinyl fence, sometimes referred to as PVC fence, is a durable plastic made of polyvinyl chloride. If you prefer more privacy in the pool area, vinyl fencing is available in solid panels as well as other patterns. It withstands the humidity of a pool area with no maintenance required.

Wood

Wood swimming pool fencing has a charm all its own. Its classic styling enhances pool décor of any type from modern to traditional. You may choose to stain or paint the fence. There are drawbacks to using wood since it is not the best material to use in high humidity areas. Maintenance will include replacing warped and rotten wood and painting, staining and weatherizing. The most common wood fence around pools is a 3 Rail or split rail with wire meshing.

All swimming pool fences are manufactured to prevent climbing. They are produced with no handholds or footholds that could enable a child to climb the fence.

Just as important as the fence is the latch that secures the gate and the hinges. Magnetic latches are lockable latches that contain strong magnets to hold the gate shut against small hands. Latches are placed at least 54 inches from the bottom of the gate out of reach of a young child. Self-closing hinges prevent the gate from standing opening with or without manually closing it. We are local fencing contractors who know the perfect latches and hinges to prevent access to your pool and that comply with regulations.

Whether you are putting in a new in-ground or above ground pool or need to replace an old fence, we are here to make sure that your pool is not only beautiful, but safe for your kids and your neighbor’s kids.

Emergency Tree Services by FS Landscaping May Prevent Future Blackouts during Storms Like Hurricane Sandy

Posted on: November 8th, 2012 by Team FS

FS Landscaping announces: 8.2 million east coast homes have been hit by extended power outages during Hurricane Sandy. Organized tree-trimming can effectively help alleviate blackout problems not only during catastrophes like Hurricane Sandy, but also during a typical storm.

Imagine being in the dark and not being able to reach loved ones on the phone. This is the reality faced by 8.2 million East Coast residents who found their households plunged into darkness this week as a result of the onslaught that is Hurricane Sandy.

The good news is, power has been restored to approximately 4.45 million homes. Electric companies who aided in the power restoration were quick to add that organized tree-trimming service providers are partly to be thanked for remedying the unfortunate scenario.

One such provider, FS Landscaping Contractors, stepped up to offer emergency tree service Bucks County, PA in order to hasten power recovery to the rest of the 4.45 million residents in the region.

When approached, New York’s ConEd estimated that it might take as long as until the end of November before there would be lights again in each and every home in the East Coast. Utility companies reassured the public that they are working overtime to allow people to turn on the lights in their homes again, but experts are calling for adjustments so as to prevent extended outages from happening in the event a storm hits the region in the future. This includes installing underground cables, implementing smart grid technology as well as efficient tree-trimming that would shorten power outages and thus, make inconveniences last but days, if not less.

To prevent prolonged power outages, it is suggested that more sound regulations concerning tree-trimming be implemented. Northeastern states like Connecticut may already be setting good examples by making it mandatory for utility firms to send in “vegetation management” plans. However, there is room for improvement as proposal submission on tree-trimming cycles should be made compulsory, along with line clearance specifications.

Utility experts also opined that the answer to the tree-trimming issue could lie in enhanced training as well as better preparations in the form of better assessment standards to decide which trees are a hazard to surrounding communities in the event a severe storm occurs.

Fortunately, other organizations are doing their own part to ensure prolonged power outages are a thing of the past whenever major storms happen. The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) have plans to develop and implement a qualification program that will assess risks concerning trees in weather-related scenarios. Potential risks can then be identified early, enabling issues pertaining to extended power outages be resolved quickly. The ISA’s director, in charge of educational goods and services, hinted that this program would be launched come next Spring. She expressed desire for the program to work hand in hand with related parties whose job is to protect the electric grid. This includes task force members from the utility, commercial and municipal sectors.

“This is a great idea,” said a representative from FS Landscaping Contractors. “However, people aren’t likely to get rid of every tree that would strike a wire during storms. Therefore, whether or not the program is successful later on in the future, emergency tree services are still needed to remedy circumstances involving fallen tree limbs or trees caught between electricity wires.”

Swimming Pool Designs

Posted on: October 2nd, 2012 by Team FS

FS Landscaping Contractors, Inc. is proud to announce our FREE Swimming Pool Designs offering for the remainder of the 2012 and 2013 Spring seasons. We offer a wide veriety of swimming pool designs from Auto Cad 2D – Pool Studio 3D designs. Our team is specialized in designing and building all types of inground swimming pools. From garden basics to your backyard resort our vision at FS Landscaping Contractors, Inc. is truely first class. Our company works with over a dozen swimming pool companies from Eastern Pennsylvania and throughout New Jersey. We have the perfect fit for all of our customers when helping chosse the right pool builder that works best. Gunite pools, Fiberglass Pools and Liner Pools are the 3 types of inground swimming pools we specialize in. If you asked me which one is the better choice when designing, I would have to go with a custom shaped gunite swimming pool for the simple fact that it is more fun to design around. Any pool is a cool pool so it all depends on what type of swimming pool fits best for you.

Our gunite swimming pools specialists will help provide our customers with the best pool filters, heater, pumps, etc. in the business and we are able to create the perfect shape and layout that best fits your property. It is important to make sure all elements that come into play are addressed at the design stage such as elevations, patio layout, fence, pool equipment location, pool houses, electric, landscaping, possible storm water management, etc. One of the main elements that is a big factor when designing a swimming pool is where the sun rises and sets. Building a gunite swimming pool will give more options as the other 2 types of pool will limit you by size, shape, location of steps and also prevent you from adding cool features such as sun shelves, grottos, vanishing edges, swim-up bar areas, plaster colors, etc..

My next top choice of swimming pools are Fiberglass Pools. There are really only a handfull of quality fiberglass swimming pools that are manufactured here locally to New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Water World Fiberglass pools out of Hammonton, New Jersey in my mind builds the best quality fiberglass swimming pool in the industry. Also, the one most important thing I like about Water World Fiberglass Pools is that they install their own pools that they manufacture. This is very important and I believe they are one of the only companies in the entire country that do this. Other fiberglass companies that do a pretty good job are Trilogy Fiberglass Pools, Leasure Fiberglass Pools and Viking Fiberglass Pools. There are some good pros on building a fiberglass pool which other types of pools don’t offer such as having a smooth, non porous wall which will prevent staining and make it easier to clean. Most Fiberglass pools can be installed and operating within 2-3 days unlike the 6-8 week process for gunite pools. The only down fall of a fiberglass swimming pool is you are limited to size and shape which plays a big role when designing a pool.

Our last but very affordable type of pool that we offer design for is Vinyl Liner Swimming Pools. Surprisingly vinyl liner swimming pools out sell any other type of swimming pool throughout the country and is the most popular type of swimming pool by consumers. In my experiences with all types of pools, the only good thing about a vinyl liner pool is that it is less expensive then others. So for those of you looking to save a few bucks and still have the luxury of owning your own swimming pool, Vinyl Liner Swimming Pools it is. Notice I didn’t have much to say about this type of pool.

Well I think it is clear who your best choice is when planning and designing your new swimming pool. FS Landscaping Contractors is here to help paint the perfect picture for you and help you choose the best type of pool for you and your family.
