FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DOES IT WORK?

BABYSECUR is a non-rigid modular fence that, when installed with the necessary degree of tension, prevents your children from opening it, climbing it or crossing over it. The modules are joined together with security locks developed by our R&D Department so that they can only be opened by adults or older children, thus guaranteeing maximum security.

HOW SAFE IS IT?

BABYSECUR is the safest system for your little ones. It is the only one specifically designed with its own parts to prevent access to the risky area and thus avoid accidents that often occur with other pool fences. We’ve installed thousands of fences in Europe and South America for over fifteen years, which has allowed us to invest in research and development to continue improving our product day by day.​

CAN THE LITTLE ONES CLIMB OR GO UNDER THE FENCE?

Since they do not have crossbars, even if they manage to get higher up, the little ones cannot jump over it like they might with a rigid fence. Furthermore, the weave of the IMPORTED FABRIC TEXTILENE is so closely woven that it does not allow them to climb it. In addition, as the fabric is very tight and there is practically no space underneath, small animals, toys or leaves cannot pass into the pool.

DO THEY ALSO PROTECT PETS?

We cannot provide a 100% guarantee as it depends on each animal and the circumstances. Many of our clients use our fences to protect their dogs, cats or other pets from the risk of drowning, or because they are very young or have poor vision or mobility. And many others use them to limit access to the pool and keep it cleaner.

CAN CHILDREN REMOVE THE FENCE OR LIFT A POST?

Due to our exclusive lock and installation systems, we can install the protective fence with the necessary degree of tension; this way, the posts cannot be removed without first opening the safety locks.

CAN THEY HURT THEMSELVES WHEN FALLING OR RUNNING INTO THE FENCE?

As they do not have rigid, sharp or pointy elements and due to their flexibility, BABYSECUR protection fences cushion possible falls or blows, avoiding traumas, cuts or injuries that usually occur with traditional fences.

HOW RESISTANT ARE BABYSECUR FENCE POSTS?

Our fences have recently been certified by Applus according to the standards of the Spanish Technical Building Code (Código Técnico de Edificación, CTE), which even exceeds the requirements of French and North American standards. Our patented posts with structural reinforcements distribute stress progressively so they flex and return to their position without permanent deformation.​

IS IT EASY TO OPEN?

Since our inception, we have been perfecting our opening systems. For our current BabyClick® childproof lock, we have incorporated the new TensionLatch®, which allows us to install a much tenser fence by dividing its retensioning closure into two operations, thus achieving a much higher degree of safety and aesthetics.

DOES IT AFFECT THE VIEW?

Due to their variety of design and colours, our fences are aesthetically integrated into your pool’s environment without hindering your view of the yard. The transparency effect of the fabric allows you to see what is happening at all times—not only inside the pool but also in its surroundings.

DOES THE OPTIONAL GATE PROVIDE GREATER SAFETY?

In the case of a public or community pool or one that is also used by teenagers, we recommend our optional MagnaLatch® gate, since it provides additional safety by having an access that closes automatically.

CAN I REMOVE AND REPLACE THE FENCE?

Since BABYSECUR is a modular system, it can be completely or partially removed in a few minutes. It also allows for access areas of 1 or 2 metres. Completely removing the fence from an 8 x 4 pool takes about 4 or 5 minutes, and reinstalling it takes the same amount of time. When rolled-up, it takes up the space of a golf set.

HOW HIGH ARE THE FENCES?

The standard height is 1 metre. We also have 1.22 m high fences that comply not only with the French standard NF P90-306, but also with the requirements of the Spanish Technical Building Code for Community Pools (CTE/SU1 and SU6). Since we have our own factory, we can also manufacture the degree of protection according to the different architectural needs in designs with inclined planes or slopes.

WHAT COLOUR OPTIONS ARE THERE?

BABYSECUR fences are available in combinations of black posts with black fabric and silver posts with black, green, grey or beige fabric so that they match the colours of the environment. The inserts and covers that are placed on the ground are also available in the most common curb colours so that, when the fence is removed, there is no visible fixing element and the aesthetics of the space are preserved.

DO THEY NEED ANY KIND OF MAINTENANCE?

BABYSECUR pool fences are made of materials resistant to water, chlorine and sunlight. Its fabric does not stretch or tear, allowing air circulation without giving a feeling of suffocation or confinement. Also, since the reinforcing edge is high-frequency welded, there are no seam threads that the sun and chemicals inevitably degrade.

CAN THEY BE MOVED, REINSTALLED AND/OR REPAIRED?

They are 100% adaptable, so we can reinstall them in case of redesign, flooring replacement or if they need to be moved to a different pool. We have a large stock of fabric and since all the other components are designed in-house, we always have in our factory all the necessary supplies to carry out extensions, reinstallations, replacements and/or repairs of any nature.

CAN I HAVE IT INSTALLED BY SOMEONE WHO IS NOT TRAINED?

​A professional installation is essential for the fence to be safe, aesthetic and practical both in the access areas and in the circulation of the patio or garden. There are not many products that depend so much on professional installation. Those who assure you that they will be able to install a removable fence correctly due to their experience in construction, installations, etc. may have the best intentions, but the installation of these types of fences, since they are not rigid, is a much more difficult process than it seems and a poor installation can make it unsafe and unsightly. Reinstallation is not only expensive but, in many cases, it is only solved by changing the flooring and carrying out a new and correct installation. The most common mistakes made by those who install without prior training and experience and the right tools are: lack of tension in the fabric, posts with incorrect inclinations, broken edge plates or drilling in the wrong places. These defects do not go unseen and are noticed every time you look at the pool area. Our installers, who are a part of our continually updated technical team and are given proper training and advice, use drills with diamond bits and other tools specially developed by our company to ensure the highest quality installation.

CAN THEY BE INSTALLED ON LAWN?

Yes, it is feasible since we have developed special techniques for these cases. In any case, soil conditions do not always allow a safe and aesthetic installation in the medium and long term, so the feasibility of an installation made entirely on lawn must be analysed by our technicians.
