A pool fence is a specialized type of fencing designed to meet safety codes (typically around pools) while still complementing the landscape. It may be constructed from aluminum, ornamental steel, vinyl, or even glass-panel systems depending on style and regulation.

Why choose it:

• Adds a legally required layer of protection around pools (safety for children and pets).
  
• Can be designed for visual appeal while still offering transparency for supervision.
  
• Materials like aluminum or coated metals offer durability and low maintenance in a moist environment.
  

What to know:

• Height, gate self-closing/latching devices, picket spacing may be regulated by local building/pool-safety codes — your fencing contractor must ensure compliance.
  
• Even a decorative fence must function as a safety barrier — visuals matter, but the physical performance matters most.
  

Ideal for:

Homes with a swimming pool or spa, where safety compliance is important, plus owners want a good looking, durable fence.
