Pool Fencing
Keep your family safe with code-compliant pool fencing that works.
Why Pool Fences Matter
Pool fences save lives. Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death for young children, and most of those accidents happen in backyard pools. A proper pool fence creates a barrier that prevents unsupervised access to your pool. In Richmond, CA, pool fences are not just smart, they are required by law. Local codes mandate fencing around residential pools to protect children and reduce accidents.
We install pool fences that meet all safety codes and give you peace of mind. Our pool fences feature self-closing, self-latching gates that prevent children from entering the pool area unsupervised. We use durable materials that resist moisture, pool chemicals, and sun exposure. Your pool fence will look good, work reliably, and keep your family safe for years to come.
Pool Fence Material Options
We install several types of pool fences, each with its own benefits:
- •Aluminum pool fences: Most popular option. Rust-free, low maintenance, elegant appearance. Open design allows visibility.
- •Vinyl pool fences: Durable and affordable. Resists moisture and chemicals. Available in privacy or semi-privacy styles.
- •Glass pool fences: Modern, frameless look. Provides unobstructed views while maintaining safety. Higher cost but stunning appearance.
- •Mesh pool fences: Temporary or semi-permanent option. Easy to remove when not needed. Good for families with young children.
Each material has its place. Aluminum fences offer the best balance of safety, durability, and appearance for most homeowners. Vinyl fences work great if you want more privacy. We help you choose the right material based on your needs and budget.
Pool Fence Safety Requirements
Height and Spacing
California law requires pool fences to be at least 5 feet tall. Vertical bars must be spaced close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through. We install pool fences that meet or exceed these requirements. Our fences are built to code so you can pass inspections and keep your family safe.
Self-Closing, Self-Latching Gates
Pool fence gates must close and latch automatically. This prevents the gate from being left open accidentally. We install high-quality gate hardware that works smoothly and reliably. The latch is positioned high enough that young children cannot reach it. Every pool fence we install includes a properly functioning gate system.
Permits and Inspections
Pool fence installation typically requires a permit and inspection. We can help you navigate the permit process and make sure your fence meets all local codes. Our team has experience working with Richmond building departments and knows exactly what inspectors look for. You can trust us to get it right the first time.
