Is your pool safe for children?

Oct 2008 Proposal to Algarve councils

Ongoing news page re councils reactions >>here
Pool safety rules and advice >>here

Pool safety standards have still not been set by Algarve councils, although some Camarás are (apparently) requesting pool fencing be installed in new applications for houses, condominiums and any hotel type accommodation.

For a free safety survey of your pool area, please call us. No Obligation.
We can supply Fencing, Gates, Latches for fitting. These will be to the current French standards , which will almost certainly be acceptable for the forthcoming Portuguese norms.

On approval of this by the Algarve Camaras, rental owners will be forced to install safety measures on their pool, (NB) or be liable to fines and responsibility for any occurences. No Dates or timings have been set as yet ( as at 1st Nov 2008). No penalties have been set yet. At a later date it is probable that all new private pools will also have to have security measures installed.

We have experience of safety and pool fencing and would like to advise owners and managers of their probable options, and the future regulations which will have to be complied with for child safety. An onsite visit is the only way to assess accurately your pool security needs, so please call us now to make an appointment .
