Safety & Regulations

Choosing the Right Fence for Your Pool

Pool Fences Are About Safety First

A properly designed pool fence is one of the most important safety features for any backyard pool. In Pinellas County and across Florida, barriers are required by code to help protect children and pets.

Key Considerations When Choosing a Fence

  • Safety & Height: Most codes specify minimum heights, latch requirements, and maximum gap sizes to prevent climbing or squeezing through.
  • Local Regulations: Your municipality or HOA may have additional rules about materials, visibility, and placement.
  • Style & Visibility: Options like aluminum, mesh, and glass each offer different levels of privacy, airflow, and maintenance.

Common Pool Fence Types

  • Aluminum or steel picket fences for a classic, durable look.
  • Frameless or semi-frameless glass for unobstructed views of the pool and yard.
  • Removable mesh barriers that can be taken down when not needed.

Working with a Professional Builder

We coordinate with trusted fence providers to ensure your barrier meets Florida code and aligns with your overall pool and landscaping design, so safety never comes at the expense of style.

Our team can help you understand local safety codes and choose a fence that fits your design and budget.
