Swimming pools

Swimming pools make excellent outdoor entertaining and living areas during the summer, but they can seem like a waste of space in winter. If not looked after, your swimming pool and pool fencing can become run down and worn out.

If you want an attractive pool area through winter, you will have to put in some hours and a little elbow grease. Things like your glass pool fences will need to be cleaned regularly, and you must watch your pool’s water levels at all times not letting it go too low. You need to weed and keep your garden trimmed and your walkways and decking area need to be swept or pressure cleaned too. It can be hard to get the motivation to look after your pool and pool fencing throughout the winter, so we’ve compiled the following list of top tips to help you out.

Make Sure You Keep Your Pool Fence Clean

If you have a glass pool fence, it’s extremely important to keep it clean and well-maintained. A dirty glass fence looks terrible, and letting grime and dust build-up can damage the surface of your glass panels and metal fittings.

Cleaning your pool fence is very easy if you do it regularly. Fill up a bucket with warm water and a bit of dish-washing detergent, and wash your glass pool fence panels like you would a window. Ensure you dry the fence when cleaning to prevent streaks and other watermarks from forming.
