In Columbia, SC, all outdoor swimming pools must be completely enclosed by a barrier that meets the city’s Code of Ordinances, Section 5.1. Pool Guard offers premium mesh pool fences that meet or exceed these standards—ensuring maximum safety and full legal compliance for homeowners across Richland County.

Key points to know about pool fence regulations in Columbia:

• Minimum Height: Pool fences must be at least 48 inches (4 feet) tall, measured from the outside grade level.
• Gap Allowance: The clearance between the bottom of the fence and the ground cannot exceed 2 inches; 4 inches if mounted on a raised pool structure.
• Opening Limitations: Fence openings must not allow the passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere.
• Fence Types: Solid barriers must have no indentations or protrusions. Decorative cutouts or vertical member spacing must not exceed 1¾ inches.
• Chain Link Rules: Maximum mesh size is 2¼ inches unless slats reduce openings to 1¾ inches or less.
