St. Louis Glass Fence: There’s nothing better than a pool in the middle of a Midwest heatwave. Whether you love floating around with a drink in your hand or prefer swimming laps for exercise, your pool is your spot for unwinding, and you work hard to keep it clean. Why let the barrier drag down your style? Fences around pools might be necessary for safety, but they don’t need to look drab. If you’ve been looking at different ways to close off your pool, here’s why we think you should consider a glass fence!

Style

It can be hard to select something that will match the exterior of your house, but glass goes with anything, and it’s ready to stand the test of time. Glass looked great with the paneling and wood of the mid-century era, and it looks just as great with the starch white farmhouse style of the 2020s. Your house might change with the trends, but your fence is one area where you won’t ever feel outdated. 

Glass also serves as an interesting accent piece while being incredibly functional. It looks sleek and modern. And unlike iron or composite fencing, frameless glass is completely transparent and won’t make your yard feel smaller. 

Efficiency 

Most modern glass is pretty resilient and will last for years. And while other materials might be tedious to clean, glass is easy. You can use glass cleaners, but we personally love the budget-friendly method of scrubbing it with dish soap and water before wiping it with a squeegee. All in all, it just takes a few minutes for you to have a fence that looks just as beautiful as the day you installed it. 

Safety 

The reason most people put up a pool barrier in the first place is to protect their kids and pets. Glass is ideal because it gives you a clear view to the pool so you can make sure no one sneaks in unsupervised. You can also easily customize how tall you want the glass so you can ensure no one can climb it.
