Where can I get more information on pool fencing to keep kids safe?
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has published Safety Barrier Guidelines for Home Pools. http://www.cpsc.gov/. It has clear illustrations and detail on many aspects of recommended pool fencing. The Queensland State Government in Australia revised its home pool fencing law in 2003. This law is now one of the most rigorous in the world. Detailed guidelines, checklists and other information for the public are available at http://www.poolfencing.qld.gov.au/ Contact your local government to find out what laws apply in your area.
