Pool fencing is associated with many perks. For instance, it enhances the pool's appeal and ensures that unauthorised persons and pets don't access the pool unless an adult accompanies them. One of the best options both commercial and residential property owners can consider is glass pool fencing.
However, these fences require some maintenance to retain their gorgeous appearance. The good news is that maintenance is easy and it doesn't always require expert assistance unless you don't have the time to DIY. Here are some tips you should consider to ensure your glass pool fencing maintenance is handled smoothly.
1. Clean the key spots right away
If someone makes a mess on the fencing or bird droppings get to the glass, it's vital to clean it right away. Waiting for too long will make the place appear unattractive, so cleaning the area will also be challenging. Clearing the stain right away only requires a simple sponge wash since the markings are still fresh. However, if you wait for longer, you will need to hire glass cleaning professionals to do the job on your behalf.
2. Avoid using glass cleaners
Although there are many glass cleaners you can use to clean your indoor glass items, you should never use them on the fencing. If you use them, some residue will be left on the glass and your fencing will not appear as clear as it needs to. Glass cleaning products are mainly designed to be used indoors, particularly in areas that don't get wet often. On the other hand, the pool fencing gets wet regularly, so the cleaners will only create a mess instead of cleaning the glass. Moreover, cleaners damage the glass over time, meaning your glass will not last as long as it should. Domestic liquid soap or dishwasher soap is ideal as it will leave the glass sparkling.
3. Follow the maintenance directions
When you buy your glass pool fencing, the manufacturer or installation contractor will offer written guidelines on how to take care of the fence. The instructions usually vary depending on the type of glass, so what one client gets is specially designed for their product. Be sure to read the document keenly and keep it well for future references. After all, your fencing should last for years and you want to make sure you follow the instructions precisely. Some common recommendations manufacturers offer includes replacing springs annually and lubricating the latches, locks and hinges.

Our dogs are lots of fun and very energetic, but they also have a scary bark. It's great to make the house more secure, but I am always worried that they'll scare people just passing by the house, so we have a tall fence to keep the dogs in. It makes people feel better if they can't see the dogs, and it makes me feel better to know that the dogs are safe and secure in our yard. This blog is all about keeping your yard secure so that your dogs will be safe inside and don't make the neighbours feel nervous.
