CHILD GUARD INDUSTRIES INC

What CHILD GUARD INDUSTRIES INC does

ChildGuard Industries Inc, founded in 1989 and headquartered in Van Nuys, California, designs and sells do-it-yourself removable mesh pool fence systems directly to residential pool owners through its childguard.com e-commerce storefront. The core product is a 12-foot modular fence section built on Marine Grade 6063 T6 aluminum poles reinforced with PVC and a ½-inch chambered stainless steel rod base, offered in Safety Mesh (5x5 strands/inch) or Pet Mesh (11x16 strands/inch) variants and supported by self-closing, self-latching gates, deck sleeves and caps, and installation accessories. The company holds a California contractor's license (#917771) and operates as the DIY-focused counterpart to a sister company, Guardian Pool Fence Systems, which performs professional installations using the same materials and craftsmanship.

The business runs on a direct-to-consumer, one-time-purchase model with no subscription component. Pricing is unit-based: $192.60-$209.73 per 12-foot fence section, $445.20-$487.48 per gate, and a full accessory catalog ranging from $0.64 deck caps to a $200 drill guide rental. Orders are processed and shipped in 5-10 business days throughout the United States, with international fulfillment handled via phone orders, and a 6-year limited warranty is offered against manufacturing defects. Customer support is delivered through phone, email, and an online Pool Fence Configurator that guides self-serve purchasing.

Marketing is content-led and long-form, anchored by a blog on pool safety, drowning prevention, and child supervision, supplemented by social sharing, email opt-in, and organic search. The primary customer segments are residential pool owners with young children or pets and DIY-oriented homeowners seeking a removable safety barrier that does not require professional installation. Distribution is wholly digital with no physical retail footprint, and the operating geography is principally North America with worldwide reach on a phone-order basis.
