Pool fencing is not just about aesthetics. It is a critical safety feature that protects children, pets, and guests from accidental drowning. California law requires barriers around residential pools, and for good reason. A proper pool fence can save lives. WHF Whittier Fencing specializes in installing pool fences that meet all safety codes while complementing your pool area beautifully.
We understand California pool barrier requirements and ensure your fence complies completely. From proper height and spacing to self-closing gates with safety latches, we handle every detail correctly. You get peace of mind knowing your pool area is properly secured and your family is protected.
Pool Fence Requirements
California has specific requirements for pool barriers. Here is what you need to know:
- •Height: Pool fences must be at least 5 feet tall measured from grade. Many homeowners choose 6-foot fences for extra security.
- •Spacing: Openings in the fence cannot exceed 4 inches to prevent small children from squeezing through. Horizontal rails must not create a ladder effect.
- •Gates: All gates must be self-closing and self-latching. Latches must be at least 54 inches above grade to prevent young children from reaching them.
- •No climbable objects: The fence must not have features that make climbing easy, and no objects that aid climbing can be placed near the fence.
These requirements exist to prevent child drownings. We ensure your pool fence meets all codes so you avoid issues during inspections and have proper protection in place.
Best Materials for Pool Fencing
Several fence materials work well for pool areas. Each offers different benefits:
Aluminum Pool Fencing
Aluminum is our most popular pool fence material. It never rusts despite constant moisture exposure, requires zero maintenance, looks elegant, and easily meets all safety codes. Aluminum pool fences come in styles from simple to ornamental.
Vinyl Pool Fencing
Vinyl offers privacy and low maintenance. It resists moisture damage and chlorine exposure. Vinyl pool fences work well when you want to block views from neighbors or create a more enclosed pool area.
Glass Pool Fencing
Frameless glass panels provide maximum visibility and modern appearance. Glass pool fencing allows you to watch swimmers from anywhere while maintaining safety barriers. It is more expensive but creates stunning visual impact.
Mesh Pool Fencing
Removable mesh fencing provides temporary barriers perfect for young children. The mesh installs on posts that remain in deck and can be removed when older children no longer need the extra barrier.
