May is \u201cCheck Your Pool Gate\u201d Month and we at Pro Max Fence Systems take safety seriously, for your
\nchildren and pets. According to the National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA), leading cause of
\nunintentional injury related death for children under 5, the second leading cause for children 14 and
\nunder and remains in the top 5 for ages up to 55. Pets are at risk at any age, but especially those new to
\nwater and \u201cthe doggie paddle\u201d.<\/p>\n

Here are some tips to safely enjoy a nice summer day at home by the pool.
\nAn improperly functioning gate is a sure-fire way to gain access to a pool.<\/p>\n

1. Hinges \u2013 gate hinges should be \u201cself-closing\u201d which means when someone forgets to close the
\ngate, the hinges will \u201cspring into action\u201d and provide closure. TIP \u2013 if you have these hinges, test
\nthe tension to ensure it is closing on its own.
\n2. Latch \u2013 there are many hinges available, like a magnetic pool safety latch which works in
\nconjunction with the self-closing hinges. TIP \u2013 if you have a magnetic top pull latch, be sure the
\nlatch is properly aligned on the frame and post so that they \u201cmeet\u201d to secure the gate closure.
\n3. Check the integrity of the gate \u2013 is the frame secure, are the pickets intact and sturdy, if wire
\nattached is it whole and not broken?<\/p>\n

Check your fence line! Spring is the best time to do this after the winter thaw. Freezing\/thawing can
\ncause posts to heave and panels to break.<\/p>\n

1. Take a walk around your fence line and give your posts a little push\/pull; if they move\/shift this
\nis a weak point and can cause the panels\/rails of your fence to fail.
\n2. If you have a fence with wire attached like a split rail or ranch fence, ensure your wire is pool
\ncode and is not broken. Oftentimes the weld of the wire can rust and break.<\/p>\n

Wild animals are also attracted to water \u2013 not just kids and dogs! Imagine finding Rusty the Raccoon,
\nPauline the Opossum or Sally Skunk taking a dip – or worse, not surviving the swim. Keeping your fence
\nin compliance and in tip top condition can bring many years of peaceful and worry-free enjoyment.
