Styles and options
Pool barrier options we install
A pool fence has one job — keep people out who cannot be in — and one rulebook: the barrier code. We build to it and keep the spec sheet for your county inspector.
Aluminum pool fence
Black aluminum at 48 inches and up — the most popular pool barrier here.
Self-closing gates
Gates that close and latch themselves, with the latch on the pool side.
Pool-adjacent fencing
Yard lines that meet pool rules where the barrier doubles as the perimeter.
Vinyl privacy + pool
Where the yard line is the barrier, vinyl privacy can do both jobs.
Iron pool lines
Ornamental iron that meets barrier code without blocking the view.
Automated pool-area gates
Operator-controlled gates for pool areas that double as driveway entries.
Our process
How a pool fence job goes
The walk-through decides everything: where the barrier runs, which gates serve it, and what your county requires. Virginia follows the barrier code — minimum 48-inch height, self-closing and self-latching gates, latch on the pool side — and some jurisdictions add specifics.
We build to code first, style second, and hand you the spec sheet for the inspection.
Cost

FAQ
pool fence questions
How high does a pool fence have to be in Virginia?
The barrier code sets a 48-inch minimum, with rules on gaps and gate hardware — self-closing, self-latching, latch on the pool side. Montgomery County, Maryland requires 5 feet. We build to your jurisdiction's current rule.
Do pool fences need a permit?
Often yes, because pool barriers tie to the pool permit. Fairfax County generally requires no separate fence permit but zoning rules apply; Montgomery County requires a fence permit. We check and file for your address.
How much does a pool fence cost?
Typical planning range is $45–$80 per linear foot installed for aluminum, plus compliant gates. Your estimate confirms it.
Aluminum or mesh pool fence?
Aluminum is permanent and passes inspection every year. Mesh removable barriers suit households that want seasonal openings. We install both.
When should the pool fence go in?
Before inspection season. Spring books up fast — winter estimates mean a spring install slot.
Can my existing fence serve as the pool barrier?
Sometimes, if it meets height, gap, and gate rules. We measure first and add barrier sections only where the line falls short.
