Palo Alto Pool Fence Laws & Requirements

In Palo Alto, all residential pools, spas, and fountains must comply with local safety laws, including proper enclosure barriers as outlined in city-adopted codes. Pool Guard offers mesh pool fences that meet or exceed these safety requirements to help families remain compliant and protected.

Key points to know about Palo Alto pool safety regulations:

• Minimum Height: Pool fences must be at least 60 inches tall per Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC 16.18.140).
• Location Restrictions: Enclosures must not interfere with public utility access, drainage easements, or visibility triangles and must be approved before installation.
• Material Rules: Fences must not have gaps over 4 inches and must be constructed to prevent climbing – no protrusions, cavities, or footholds.
• Gate Requirements: All access gates must be self-closing, self-latching, and open away from the pool. Latch devices must be mounted at least 60 inches above the ground.
• Setback & Safety Standards: Pool enclosures must isolate the pool from the home unless additional safety features like door alarms or ASTM-certified safety covers are used per CA Senate Bill 442.

Our Palo Alto team ensures every Pool Guard fence is installed to meet city and state codes, including setback compliance, visibility clearance, and barrier safety standards. We help homeowners achieve peace of mind with fences that pass final inspection and protect loved ones.
