Safety-compliant pool fence installation around residential swimming pool in Hurricane, UT

Why Pool Fencing Is Essential

Pool fencing isn't just about following the law. It's about protecting the people you care about most. Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death for young children, and a proper pool fence is your first line of defense. If you have a pool, you need a fence. It's that simple.

In Hurricane, UT, local codes require pool fencing that meets specific safety standards. These regulations exist because they save lives. Your fence must be at least 4 feet tall, have self-closing and self-latching gates, and not provide easy climbing access. We know these requirements inside and out, and we make sure every pool fence we install meets or exceeds all safety codes.

At Advanced Hurricane Fencing, we take pool safety seriously. We've installed hundreds of pool fences throughout Hurricane, and we understand what works best for different properties and situations. Whether you're building a new pool or upgrading an existing one, we'll help you choose a fence that keeps your family safe while looking great.

Pool Fence Safety Requirements

Understanding pool fence regulations helps you make informed decisions. Here are the key safety features your pool fence must have:

Proper Height

Pool fences must be at least 48 inches (4 feet) tall measured from the ground. Many homeowners choose 5 or 6-foot fences for added security and peace of mind. Taller fences make it harder for children to climb over.

Self-Closing Gates

Every gate must close automatically and latch securely without any manual action. This prevents the gate from being left open accidentally. We install heavy-duty, reliable gate closers that work smoothly for years.

Child-Proof Latches

Latches must be at least 54 inches from the ground or designed so young children can't operate them. This prevents kids from opening the gate on their own. We use latches that meet all current safety standards.

No Climbing Aids

Fence designs can't have horizontal rails or other features that create footholds for climbing. Vertical pickets or mesh designs are required to prevent kids from easily scaling the fence.

Best Materials for Pool Fencing

  • Aluminum fencing: Rust-proof, elegant, and meets all safety codes while looking sophisticated
  • Vinyl fencing: Low maintenance, durable, and available in solid or semi-private designs
  • Mesh fencing: Transparent, removable option that provides safety without blocking pool views
  • Glass panels: Modern, unobstructed views with frameless or semi-frameless designs

Choosing the Right Pool Fence for You

Not all pool fences are created equal. Your choice depends on your priorities, budget, and aesthetic preferences. Here's what to consider:

Visibility vs. Privacy

Do you want to see the pool from your house? Aluminum fencing and mesh options let you maintain clear sightlines, which helps you supervise kids playing in the pool area. Prefer more privacy from neighbors? Solid vinyl panels or closely-spaced pickets give you that barrier while still meeting safety requirements.

Maintenance Requirements

Pool areas get splashed with water constantly, and chemicals from your pool can affect certain materials. Aluminum and vinyl hold up best because they don't rust, rot, or require painting. Wood fences need regular sealing and eventual replacement. If you want a set-it-and-forget-it solution, stick with aluminum or vinyl. You'll spend more time enjoying your pool and less time maintaining your fence.

Aesthetic Considerations

Your pool fence should enhance your outdoor space, not detract from it. Aluminum fences offer elegance with decorative options like spear-top pickets or ornamental scrollwork. Vinyl comes in various colors and styles to match your home. Glass panels create a modern, resort-like atmosphere. We'll help you find a fence that complements your property's overall look while prioritizing safety above all.

Installation and Permits

Installing a pool fence requires permits and inspections to verify code compliance. We handle all the paperwork and coordinate with local authorities so you don't have to worry about it. Our installation process is thorough and professional. We make sure gates operate smoothly, posts are securely anchored, and every detail meets safety standards. When we're done, your fence will pass inspection the first time.
