Buffalo Pool Fence Laws and Requirements

In Buffalo, NY, pool fencing must comply with New York State Residential Code (2020) as well as local Erie County ordinances. These regulations are designed to reduce accidental drownings and enhance residential safety. Below are the key requirements:

  • Fence Height – Pool barriers must be at least 48 inches (4 feet) high, measured from the ground on the side facing away from the pool.
  • Gate Requirements – Gates must be self-closing and self-latching, opening outward from the pool. The latch must be positioned at least 54 inches from the ground or otherwise child-proofed.
  • Spacing and Openings – No gaps in the fence should allow a 4-inch diameter sphere to pass through. The space between the ground and the bottom of the fence must be no more than 2 inches.
  • Climb-Resistant Design – Horizontal members must be at least 45 inches apart vertically or located on the pool side of the fence. Mesh fences must not have footholds or handholds that aid climbing.
  • Door and Window Alarms – If the home acts as part of the pool barrier, doors and windows with direct access to the pool must be equipped with audible alarms or self-closing/latching devices.
  • Local Enforcement – The City of Buffalo’s Department of Permits & Inspections Services enforces pool safety regulations and requires a permit before any permanent fencing installation.
  • Permit Requirements – A building permit is required before fence installation, and final inspection is necessary for code compliance.

Buffalo Pool Fence Installation – Our Process

Step 1: Free Estimate, Layout Planning, Measuring & Surface Preparation

Our experts conduct a free consultation, take precise measurements, and design a custom fence layout that meets safety standards. Once finalized, we prepare the surface, whether concrete, grass, pavers, or dirt to ensure a stable and secure installation in Buffalo.

Step 2: Anchoring & Fence Installation

For concrete surfaces, we use precision core drilling, while dirt or gravel areas are secured with aluminum sleeves and quick-set concrete for maximum durability. Our certified installers in Buffalo then align, secure, and assemble the panels, adjusting the tension for seamless integration and structural integrity.

Step 3: Gate Latching, Final Inspection & Clean-Up

We install stainless steel locking latches and self-closing gate mechanisms, ensuring secure access while preventing unauthorized entry. A final inspection is conducted to verify compliance, followed by a clean-up and a detailed maintenance walkthrough to ensure long-term durability.
