Pool Fence & Barrier Installation
Pool barriers that pass inspection the first time: the right height, the right openings and gates that close and latch on their own.
Overview
A pool fence is a safety device first and a fence second. Most North Texas cities enforce pool barrier rules based on the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code: typically a minimum height of 48 inches, openings small enough that a child can't pass through, and gates that open outward, close on their own and latch out of a child's reach.
We build pool barriers in ornamental steel or aluminum, which keeps the view to the water open, and we check the details inspectors check: the gap under the fence, latch height, spring-hinge tension and clearance to anything a child could climb. Your city's requirements are the final word, and we confirm them before we build.

Common questions
What height does a pool fence need to be?
Most cities in our area require at least 48 inches measured from the outside grade, but requirements vary. We confirm your city's rules before we build.
Can my house wall be part of the barrier?
Sometimes, but doors and windows that open to the pool area usually need alarms or self-closing hardware. We'll walk through what your layout needs.
Can you set posts into my pool deck?
Yes. We core-drill the concrete and set posts in non-shrink grout, which is cleaner and stronger than surface mounting.
Do you work with pool builders?
Regularly. We can schedule the barrier to go in before your final pool inspection.
