Protect-A-Child Pool Fence of New England - Billerica's Trusted Fence Installation

A gate that won't latch is often a sign of a sagging hinge, a misaligned latch, or even a shifting fence post due to weather or ground movement. This is a common issue in Billerica with our freeze-thaw cycles. Protect-A-Child can inspect and repair the gate, adjust or replace the hinges and latch, and reinforce the post to ensure the gate self-closes and latches securely every time, which is crucial for child safety.

Rust spots are often an early sign of weatherproofing failure. While they start as a cosmetic issue, if left untreated in our New England climate, the rust can eat through the metal, weakening the fence and creating sharp edges. Protect-A-Child can address this by sanding down the rust, applying a rust-inhibiting primer, and repainting or staining the fence to restore its strength and appearance. We also offer routine weatherproofing services to prevent this from happening.

Great question. A wooden fence can be childproof, but it must meet specific safety standards. Common issues include gaps between pickets that a child could squeeze through, or a gate that doesn't self-close. Protect-A-Child will conduct a thorough inspection. We can repair any damaged pickets, install a self-closing hinge and latch, and add mesh or other barriers to close any gaps. If the fence is too low, we can also install a removable mesh pool fence on top to bring it to the required height.
