Pool Fence Installation Louisiana – 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 Louisiana.

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 Louisiana 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.

Louisiana Pool Fence Laws and Requirements

FAQs About Pool Fences in Louisiana

Yes. Residential pools in Louisiana must be enclosed by a compliant pool fence. Most parishes follow the state-adopted building codes that require fences to be at least 48 inches tall, with self-closing, self-latching gates and climb-resistant design. These laws apply to both in-ground and above-ground pools deeper than 24 inches.

Not exactly. While most parishes follow the same baseline requirements, like minimum fence height and gate safety features, some areas—like East Baton Rouge, Orleans Parish, and Jefferson Parish—have additional permitting steps or stricter enforcement. It’s important to work with a company familiar with your local code.

Pool Guard installs code-compliant pool fences throughout Louisiana, including Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Lafayette, Shreveport, and surrounding communities. Our fences are designed for safety and built to meet your specific parish’s requirements.

Yes. Our removable mesh fences are made from UV- and corrosion-resistant materials designed specifically for humid, storm-prone environments. They hold up well in areas affected by hurricanes, high heat, and coastal salt air.

Most parishes require a permit before any pool fence installation. Some also require an inspection before the pool can be used. We’re experienced in handling parish-level permitting and will ensure your fence meets all local requirements.

Even if your yard is fenced, Louisiana pool laws still require a pool-specific safety barrier that meets height, gate, and latch rules. Standard backyard fences often don’t comply unless properly modified.
