If you’ve been looking for info on Long Island Pool Fence, many communities have passed laws requiring the fencing of private and public pools. In fact, much of the evidence that pool fencing reduces the risk of drowning among children comes from studies examining before and after rates of drowning for fenced and unfenced pools. Even after these pioneering studies had been done, the favorable attitude toward pool fencing did not necessarily translate into actual changes in pool fencing.
More recently, studies have examined whether the type of fence surrounding a pool makes a difference. Comparison studies of perimeter fencing (property barrier) versus isolation fencing (around immediate pool area) show isolation fencing to be much more effective in reducing the risk of drowning. Adding to this finding are studies examining children’s ability to climb certain types of fences. In particular, chain-link fences, while allowing visibility of the pool area, are the most easily scaled by children as young as 2 years old. Ornamental iron bar fences were advocated as a better barrier, with reduced ‘climability’ while retaining the visibility factor.
Fence height makes little difference if the child is able to climb it; one study showed the median time for four-year-olds to climb a 5-foot fence was seventeen seconds. For a fence that is not scaleable, the most important element of fencing is a secure, self-closing gate.
Taking these and other findings into account, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has compiled a list of minimum recommendations for residential pool fencing; recent legislation passed in Seattle requires a fence height of at least 5 feet, and an inter-bar spacing of no more than 4 inches.
Here we review the relevant studies which have examined the effect of Long Island Pool Fence on drowning. These studies are time series, case-control, or non-equivalent control group comparisons. No randomized controlled studies have been conducted.
