General Description:
Pool fence designed specifically to provide a barrier around residential swinaming-pools
for toddlers and young children. Life Saver Pool Fence Systems ® does not have any
gaps, openings, indentations, protrusions, or structural components that could allow a
young child to crawl under, squeeze through, or climb over the barrier. Our exclusive
Perma Locking System will not allow the barrier to be removed without the aid of tools_
Life Saver Pool fence is manufactured and installed in compliance with the Florida
Residential 4501.17 and the Florida Statute.
System:;:
Tension based system utilizing a series of 15 foot sections offence with inserts for
mounting in non -conducting polypropylene sleeves core drilled 4 inches deep into a
concrete deck or other substantial surface, connected in series at the top with our
exclusive 2 1/2 inch Perma Locking System.
Construction:
Mesh: Polyester mesh fabric with a mildew resistant polyvinyl coating to provide for
years of use in direct sunlight.
Continuous basket weave with a tensile strength rating of270 lbs. Per inch
making it impossible to rip under normal use.
Color selection is black, white, green or brown. Available in 48 or 60 in.heights.
Bordered on all four sides by a reinforced vinyl material with a rating of 387
lbs. To prevent sagging and provide the necessary tension to insure the fence's
integrity for its intended purpose both at the top and bottom.
The mesh is pre -mounted on aluminum support poles and secured by aluminum
cove molding strips.
Poles: Poles are constructed of marine grade aluminum, black, white, green, tan and
brown powder coated or silver finish.
Pole spacing is at 36 inches.
Stainless steel screws (14) are utilized for securely attaching the aluminum cove
holding to the poles and mesh.
Surface of the poles are finished for handling and to prevent injuries from
physical contact.
The poles are capped to provide a neat finished appearance.

The above results are a representative of real data from single test samples.
Presently no specification is incorporated.
Warp refers to the horizontal threading while fill refers to the vertical threading. As
shown, all testing confirms Textilene mesh meets and, on all. strength tests, amply
exceeds the set code requirements.
Reinforced 1" Aluminum Pole
Life Saver Pool Fence uses Reinforced 6063T6 1" Aluminum Poles spaced no more than
36"' apart. Mesh is secured: to the pole via an aluminum cove molding using roundhead
screws spaced no greater than 6".
The temper rating of T6 scores the highest tensile strength (30 ksi) within the 6063 alloy
classification.
On July 14'h, 2003, Life Saver Pool Fence Systems, Inc. contracted Nutting Engineers of
Florida, Inc., an ASTM standards testing lab established in 1967, to test the pole strength
as per the Florida Residential Code 4501.17
At the time of testing, a lateral force was applied to a single pole at a measurement of 36"
from the surface of the deck. In the test, the resistance to lateral pressure was found to
exceed 70 lbs. of pressure before failure on any single pole in a free standing installation,
thus exceeding the 52 lbs. of horizontal force prescribed by the Florida Building Code.
