Pool safety for family villas.
A private pool is one of the best parts of family life in Dubai. We fit barriers, gates and alarms, planned around your home and garden, that make it much harder for a young child to reach the water on their own.

What we look at.
Every pool area is different. We start with how a child could reach the water, from inside the house and from the garden.
- Every route from the house and garden to the pool
- Doors and sliding doors that open onto the pool area
- Existing fences, gates and latches
- Furniture, planters and steps a child could climb
- Ledges, steps and the surfaces around the water
What we can fit.
- Removable mesh pool fencing
- A strong, see-through barrier that keeps the pool in view and can be lifted out when the adults are swimming.
- Self-closing, self-latching gates
- Gates that close and latch on their own, with the latch set well above a child’s reach.
- Door alarms
- Alarms on the doors that lead to the pool area, so you know the moment one is opened.
- Glass and bespoke finishes
- Glass fencing and other finishes can be arranged with specialist installers where the setting calls for them.
Planned around Dubai Municipality guidance.
Dubai Municipality’s Private Swimming Pools Safety Guideline sets out what a safe pool enclosure looks like. We use it as our standard for every pool we work on.
The guideline is guidance rather than law. We will tell you plainly where your current set-up differs from it and what we recommend.
On its own, or as part of your home.
Enquire about pool safetyYou can ask us about pool safety on its own, or include it in a whole-home assessment. Either way, every recommendation is set out in your plan with clear pricing before any work begins.
Renting your villa? Removable fencing is designed to come down when you move, and we will talk you through any permission your landlord or community needs.
Pool barriers are one layer of protection. They never replace an adult watching children in and around the water.
