Essential Safety Features
Our pool fencing includes these critical safety features to ensure compliance with regulations and maximize protection:
- Self-Closing Gates: Specially designed gates that automatically close and latch, preventing them from being accidentally left open.
- Self-Latching Mechanisms: Secure latches positioned at heights inaccessible to young children (typically 54 inches or higher).
- Proper Picket Spacing: Gaps between vertical members smaller than 4 inches to prevent children from squeezing through.
- Appropriate Heights: Fencing at least 48 inches tall (or as required by local code) to discourage climbing.
- Non-Climbable Design: No footholds, handholds, or horizontal members that could assist in climbing.
- Proper Ground Clearance: Maximum 2-inch gap between the bottom of the fence and ground to prevent children from crawling underneath.
- Gate Opening Direction: Gates that open outward, away from the pool, to prevent children from pushing them open.
All of our pool fencing is installed with these safety features as standard, ensuring your pool area is as secure as possible while remaining aesthetically pleasing.

Benefits of Picket Fencing

Creates a physical barrier to prevent unsupervised access to the pool area by children, pets, or non-swimmers.
-
Peace of Mind
Provides reassurance that children and pets cannot access the pool area without adult supervision.
-
Wind Protection
Reduces wind over the pool surface, potentially decreasing water evaporation and heat loss.

Aesthetic Enhancement
Defines the pool area as a special space while adding architectural interest to your outdoor living area.
-
Debris Reduction

Pool Gate Systems
Our pool enclosures include specially designed gate systems with these safety features:
Code-compliant gates with self-closing hinges and self-latching mechanisms positioned at appropriate heights to prevent child access.
Advanced magnetic latching systems that are child-resistant and provide audible closing confirmation for additional peace of mind.
Gates with key locks or combination locks for additional security, perfect for properties that need to restrict pool access further.
