Pool safety is a legal obligation<\/strong> and a necessity to protect children and pets. The pool gate is a crucial element of this protection, as it must meet strict standards while blending harmoniously into your outdoor space. <\/p>\n\n

At Districlos, we offer a selection of approved gates<\/a>, combining durability and aesthetics<\/strong>, available at competitive prices. Our range includes glass, mesh, or galvanized steel models, equipped with self-closing systems and secure locks that comply with the NF P90-306 standard<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

The different types of pool gates<\/h2>\n\n

The mesh gate<\/a> is the most common solution. Lightweight and corrosion-resistant<\/strong>, it integrates perfectly with mesh safety barriers<\/a>. Its self-closing system and secure locking make it a reliable choice. <\/p>\n\n

The tempered glass gate offers an elegant and modern alternative. Being transparent, it preserves the view of the pool while ensuring optimal protection. It naturally pairs with glass barriers to create a harmonious look. <\/p>\n\n

Safety standards for pool gates<\/h2>\n\n

The NF P90-306 standard<\/strong> imposes strict criteria: a minimum height of 1.10 m<\/strong>, a self-closing system, and a secure locking mechanism out of children’s reach. The gate must open outwards from the pool and withstand a force of 50 kg. <\/p>\n\n

Pay attention to the gaps between the bars, which must not exceed 10 cm to prevent a child from passing through. The closing system must be double-action to prevent accidental opening. <\/p>\n\n

How to choose the materials for your gate?<\/h2>\n\n

Galvanized steel panels<\/strong> combine strength and weather resistance. Requiring no special maintenance, they retain their original appearance for many years. Available in several colors, they adapt to all garden styles. <\/p>\n\n

Tempered glass pool barriers<\/a>, four to five times stronger than ordinary glass, withstand impacts and temperature variations. Their special treatment ensures maximum safety in the event of breakage, as the glass fragments into small, non-sharp pieces. <\/p>\n\n

Installing a pool gate<\/h2>\n\n

Installation requires a flat and stable surface. The posts must be anchored<\/strong> in concrete footings at least 30 cm deep. Adjusting the hinges and the self-closing system requires special attention to ensure optimal operation. <\/p>\n\n

Installation can be carried out by an experienced DIYer, but a professional will guarantee a compliant installation. The kits provided by Cloture Discount include all the necessary accessories and detailed instructions for a hassle-free installation. <\/p>\n\n

Maintaining your pool gate<\/h2>\n\n

Regularly checking the fixations and the closing system is essential. The hinges should be oiled periodically to maintain effective self-closing. Cleaning is done simply with clean water, without using harsh products. <\/p>\n\n

For glass gates, cleaning with a special glass cleaner is sufficient. Galvanized steel only requires occasional rinsing to remove dust and limescale marks caused by water splashes. <\/p>\n
