I would suggest you try to do something along these lines as you do not want to be held responsible if anything happens in the future.      Report

HELP do we need to get someone in to check it, if so who   Paul Paul The equipment is certified that you have confirmed as there is a stamp on the fence and should therefor conform. Some fences also come with a certificate in their manual of installation instructions. Normally its for the installer ( in this case you) to certify that the conforming fence was installed according to the manufacturers specifications- You can do no more than that. If you do so how ever, be aware that you are liable for the installation in that, if there is an incident where the compliant security is to be examined by and expert in the course of Litigation then your attestation will be tested for its worth. If it is found that you have not installed the fence correctly then it could be that the full weight of responsibility for the incident could fall on your shoulders. I would not expect that this would actually occur but it is consquence of the question. Andrew www.Poolguy.fr    Report
