Pool Fencing

Safety First, Style Second

A pool is a wonderful addition to your home, but it comes with serious safety responsibilities. Pool fencing isn't just about following the law. It's about protecting children, pets, and anyone who might accidentally wander near the water. A proper pool fence creates a secure barrier that prevents unsupervised access while still letting you enjoy the beauty of your pool area.

We understand Maryland pool fencing codes inside and out. Our installations meet all local safety requirements while giving you options that look great with your landscaping. Whether you prefer the see-through visibility of mesh, the elegance of aluminum, or the security of vinyl, we install pool fences that give you peace of mind without compromising your backyard's appearance.

Pool Fencing Requirements in Maryland

Maryland has specific requirements for pool fencing that we follow on every installation. Understanding these rules helps you make informed decisions about your pool fence:

• •Minimum height of 48 inches measured from the ground to the top of the fence
• •No gaps larger than 4 inches between pickets, rails, or decorative elements
• •Self-closing, self-latching gates that automatically secure when released
• •Latch height requirements placing locks beyond children's reach
• •Gates must swing away from the pool for safety
• •Complete enclosure with no direct access from the house without passing through the gate

Best Materials for Pool Fencing

Different materials work well for pool fencing depending on your priorities. Aluminum fencing is the most popular choice because it never rusts, looks attractive, and meets all code requirements easily. Vinyl fencing offers complete privacy if you prefer blocking views from neighbors. Mesh pool fencing provides maximum visibility so you can always see into the pool area from your house or patio.

We help you evaluate the pros and cons of each option based on your budget, desired look, and specific safety needs. All our pool fence installations include proper self-closing gates with compliant latches. We also ensure the fence is installed at the correct height with appropriate spacing to meet code and keep your family safe.

Professional Installation Matters

Pool fence installation requires precision and knowledge of local codes. Posts must be set deep enough to prevent leaning or tipping. Gates need proper adjustment to close fully every time. Spacing must be exact to meet safety standards. We handle all aspects of your pool fence installation professionally, including pulling permits if required. Your pool fence will pass inspection the first time, guaranteed.
