Pool fencing exists primarily for one reason: safety. It's one of the more heavily regulated types of residential fencing, and for good reason, since pool fences are specifically designed to prevent unsupervised access, particularly for young children.
Most jurisdictions in the Louisville area, along with the broader Kentucky and Indiana communities we serve, have specific code requirements for pool fencing. These typically include minimum height requirements, usually four feet or taller, restrictions on gaps between fence pickets that a child could squeeze through, and requirements for self-closing, self-latching gates. We stay current on these requirements for every jurisdiction we work in and make sure every pool fence installation meets code.
