What Requirements Does My Pool Safety System Need to Meet?
Many states have mandated laws for pool safety fences including Florida. Since these regulations are strictly enforced by local code officers, we recommend ensuring you comply with your local code.
If you have recently moved into a home with a pool, we recommend checking with your local county code compliance office regarding the swimming pool barrier requirements for your yard and pool.
Here in Florida at the state level, homeowners are required to have a four-sided barrier around the pool at least four feet in height with a self-closing, self-latching gate. Your local codes may include more restrictive requirements on pool fence height.
Pool Guard of Orlando-Kissimmee and Lakeland can help you discover what you need.

Boasting the top-of-the-line MagnaLatch and TruClose hinges, our gate will close flawlessly time after time.
How Do I Figure Out the Design of My Mesh Pool Fence?
A great way to get an idea of where you want to place your fence is to lay out your garden hose where you would like to have the fence installed. This will allow you to assess the usability of the space with the potential placement of the fence.
Once you’ve decided on your potential layout, we recommend discussing it with your Pool Guard of Orlando-Kissimmee and Lakeland dealer. Your local dealer sees hundreds of backyards and pools every year and can advise you on how well your layout will function and suggest alternative solutions.
We work hard to bring code requirements and the pool owner’s needs together to create a beautiful, safe pool area that ticks off everyone’s boxes.
Pool Guard of Orlando-Kissimmee and Lakeland products come in a variety of color combinations to match your surroundings. Whether you choose our popular and classic all-black fence or opt for something more tropical like our blue/white combination, we have a color combo that will accent your pool area and not detract from the scenery beyond the pool.
Professional Pool Safety Equipment Installations
As a general rule, we recommend having your removable pool fence installed at the edge of the concrete decking around your pool. This format allows for a great deal of space available inside the fence for use when sunbathing or cleaning the pool.
The ASTM recommendation for pool safety fence installations is at least two feet from the water’s edge. Installing your pool fence the appropriate distance from the pool ensures safe and easy access to the pool through your pool gate and plenty of room inside the fence to prevent accidental falls into the pool, especially while cleaning.
When it comes to pool safety cover installations, the cover must overlap the pool deck by one foot on each side to fully prevent access to the water and prevent gaps at the edge should weight be placed on the cover.
As with covers, pool safety nets also require the appropriate overlap to take full advantage of the ability of the net to stay above the surface of the water should a child or adult fall on it.
