40 years ago, Don Coppedge, a founder of Protect-A-Child Pool Fence Company started installing the first Protect-A-Child mesh pool fences. While Protect-A-Child improved quality over time, other mesh pool fences reduced strength and quality in an effort to compete primarily on price. Don could see the parents were unaware of how fences product strength and quality was affected so he began to explain product quality. Instead of offering weak, low quality fences, Protect-A-Child has always maintained the highest standard of strong, quality materials manufacturing pool fences that excel in serving families well.
