Pool Fencing

Professional Pool Fencing in Eagle Mountain

A swimming pool is a wonderful addition to your property, but it also comes with serious safety responsibilities. At PAF Eagle Mountain Fencing, we specialize in pool fencing that meets all Utah safety codes while enhancing your backyard's appearance. Our pool fences provide the protection your family needs without turning your yard into a fortress.

Utah law requires barriers around swimming pools to prevent accidental drowning, especially for young children. But compliance doesn't mean sacrificing style. We install pool fencing in multiple materials and styles that match your home's aesthetic while meeting every safety requirement. Your pool fence should give you peace of mind and look like an intentional part of your landscape design.

Pool Safety Code Requirements

Utah adopts the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, which sets specific requirements for pool barriers. Understanding these requirements helps you make informed decisions about your pool fence:

• •Minimum height of 48 inches measured from grade
• •Maximum opening size of 4 inches to prevent child access
• •Self-closing, self-latching gates that open outward away from pool
• •Gate latch must be at least 54 inches above grade or have locking mechanism
• •No climbable surfaces within 3 feet of fence on pool side
• •Fence must completely surround pool with no gaps or access points

We stay current with all Utah pool barrier codes and local Eagle Mountain requirements. When we design your pool fence, code compliance is built in from the start. We handle permit applications and work with inspectors to ensure your pool fence passes inspection the first time.

Pool Fence Material Options

Different materials work well for pool fencing, each with advantages. Aluminum fencing is extremely popular for pools because it never rusts even when exposed to pool chemicals and splashing water. Black aluminum looks sophisticated and doesn't show water spots. The open design maintains sight lines so you can always see the pool area.

Vinyl fencing works beautifully around pools and is completely immune to moisture and chlorine damage. Privacy-style vinyl fencing blocks neighbor views while meeting pool codes. Semi-privacy styles allow some airflow while still providing substantial screening. Vinyl stays looking new year after year with just an occasional rinse.

Chain-link pool fencing is the most economical option and meets all safety codes when properly installed. Vinyl-coated chain-link in black or green looks more attractive than standard galvanized. You can add privacy slats if desired. Wood fencing can also work for pools if properly maintained, though it requires more upkeep than aluminum or vinyl in wet pool environments.

Balancing Safety With Beauty

Your pool fence protects your family, but it should also enhance your backyard, not detract from it. We help you choose materials and styles that complement your home and pool design. Aluminum fencing with decorative picket tops creates an upscale resort feel. Vinyl fencing in tan or white coordinates with most pool decking and patio furniture.

Gate placement is important for both safety and convenience. We position gates where they make sense for traffic flow while maintaining code compliance. Multiple gates may be needed for larger pool areas. All our pool fence gates feature quality self-closing hinges and code-compliant latches. The gates operate smoothly and close reliably every time.

Installation takes one to three days for most residential pool fences. We work carefully around your pool deck and landscaping. Our pool fence installations pass inspection and give you decades of worry-free protection. When friends and family visit, you can enjoy your pool knowing everyone is safe.
