How we build it

A pool fence has one job that matters more than looks: keep small children out of the water when no adult is watching. Pool barrier rules are set locally and usually cover height, the gaps between pickets, climbable rails and how gates close and latch. We look up the rules that apply to your address, build to them, and show you what we checked.

Pool rules differ by city and county, and inspectors have the final word.
Removable mesh needs holes drilled in your deck, which is planned with you first.

Questions about pool

Can my wood privacy fence count as the pool barrier?

Often it can, if the height is right and the climbable rails face the pool side. The gates still need to close and latch on their own. We check your fence and tell you honestly what it needs.

Do you install glass pool fences?

No. We focus on aluminum and removable mesh. We are happy to point you to a glass specialist.

Good to know

We check the rules, the inspector decides

We look up the pool barrier rules for your address and build to them, but we are not your inspector. If your pool needs a final inspection, plan the fence before it, and we will meet your pool builder's timeline.
