Where keep pool gate closed signs are used
A townhome association with a shared pool may place one on the fence post beside the gate, where residents and their guests read it as they walk in from the lot. Owners of a rental house with an in-ground pool use the 12 by 12 inch panel on the back gate, since visitors often arrive through the side yard. A motel or inn may hang a panel on the chain-link fence around its pool deck, where a guest who leans on the gate can see it. The sign restates the rule right where it matters, so a guest who missed the lock still reads it.
Choosing the size and where to hang it
Set the panel at the latch side of the gate, at adult eye height, so it reads as the gate swings. The 18 by 12 inch size suits a small gate, and the 24 by 18 inch panel suits a long fence. Aluminum holds up to weather on a fence that stays outside, while plastic is the light pick for a fence you may move later. For a dark lane, reflective aluminum helps. Bolt aluminum through any holes you order, or zip tie plastic through its grommets.
Questions about keep pool gate closed signs
Where should a keep pool gate closed sign be mounted?
Mount it on the fence or gate post on the outside of the pool area, at about eye height, so people read it before they go through. A 12 x 18 in portrait sign fits a narrow gate post, and an 18 x 12 in landscape sign suits a wider fence rail.
Can I add a supervision or latch line?
Yes. The sample line Children must be supervised prints under the two main lines, and you can type a different note, such as a reminder to keep the gate latched. The live preview shows the layout as you type, so keep the wording in line with the rules you post at the pool.
Aluminum or plastic for a pool fence?
Aluminum suits a gate that gets sun and rain, since the .040 in sheet is rust-free and carries a gloss UV print. Plastic is light and flexible, with brass grommets, and it prints on one side only, so face it toward the walk. It suits a temporary fence or a rental.
Can the sign go right on the gate panel?
Yes, if the gate panel is flat and wide enough for the size you pick. Hold the panel up against the gate first to check the fit and the height. Then fix it through the holes or grommets with screws or zip ties that will hold without pulling loose.
Which rule covers a pool gate where I live?
We cannot say which rule covers your yard. Pool and fence rules differ between states and cities, so check your state and local pool rules before the panel goes up. Your city or county office can tell you what applies to your property.
