Swimming pool barriers - Safety system for kids

[Charlot2015]

I all,

I live in Thailand on Koh Tao and need to install a fence system around our swimming pool to protect my kids. We are looking for a system like the one that is shown in the pictures attached. I have contacted all the swimming pool shops that have internet web sites but non of them have something like this or similar...any info ?

Many thanks for your help !!

Moved to the swimming pool forum.

I'm fairly sure I noticed something like this on the pool doctor's website, but it looks like their website is now broken - all links just display the same page over and over: http://www.thepooldoctorsthailand.com/index.php

Thank Google for being able to find working links on their broken website

Thank you IMHO, I have just sent a message to them asking if they were still selling this product. This is weird because I did contact them and they answered that they had no product like the one I was talking about...Let's see what they say now....

I think the words swimming pool and safety do not exist in the Thai language. Your best bet may be to gather as much info as you can from Australian websites, as you are probably aware that such fences are compulsory if you have a pool. Then get some local engineering company to make one for you.

Good luck in your quest.

I just noticed that their ad in the sidebar right on this site mentions it too - probably where I got the subliminal message from in the first place

You can use this link to browse the products they used to stock back in April 2014 (the last time their website worked properly)

Best of luck getting it sorted out. Our friends recently lost their 2 year old in the pool. Mother was asleep with the boy and he was able to climb over the barrier they had setup. A wooden fence, but only 1M high or so. Horrible.

It looks like The Pool Doctors company is no longer offering its services, the phone numbers are not working and nobody is returning my emails... :-(

While I applaud you for trying to make your pool kid safe the two most important things you can do is make sure they can swim and never let them out of your site anywhere around the pool. Short of a 6 meter fence with razor wire there is not much which is going to stop a determined kid from getting into the pool.

Thanks for your advises, I just want to know where I can find good security fences here like the one we can find in western europe and US. I think the name of the topic is clear enough on what I am looking for in this forum.

OK, have some more links for you

You might find additional local info by asking on the 'Samui Community' facebook page.
