Say why, and say when

“Pool closed” on its own invites people to climb the fence or call the office. A reason (maintenance, weather, a chemical issue, the end of the season) and a reopening time answer the two questions everyone has. If you don’t know the date yet, leave the line blank and fill it in with a marker.

For weather, keep a few printed copies in the pool office so whoever closes the gate can post one in a minute.

Printing it

Letter and Tabloid print on any office printer; laminate them or slip them into a clear sign holder for outdoor use. For a fence or gate, order the 18 × 24 in or 24 × 36 in size from a print shop on coroplast or aluminum composite — the PDF is vector, so it stays sharp at any size. Rules signs are usually posted at 18 × 24 in.

Questions

Pool closed sign FAQ

What should a pool closed sign say?
That the pool is closed, why (maintenance, weather, a health issue or the off-season), when it reopens, and who to contact with questions.
Can I leave the reopening date blank?
Yes. Leave the Reopens field empty and the sign prints a blank line you can write on.

Signs set the rules. Attendants keep them.

The Pool Attendant Company staffs HOA and community pools with trained attendants who check people in, apply guest limits and log every incident.
