Rest Easy with an Arrow Fence Around Your Pool

Ornamental aluminum fencing is a perfect choice to surround your swimming pool. Its construction eliminates rust, while its durable powder coated finish withstands the moisture and chemicals found in a pool environment. Most building codes require swimming pools to have self-closing and self-latching gates around them. In addition pickets must have less than 4” between them, so children cannot squeeze through.

Several styles of our aluminum fencing are specifically designed to meet the rigid Swimming Pool Enclosure code developed by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) as well as the State of Massachusetts Building code 780 CMR. This requires at minimum that a fence has 45” of space between its two horizontal rails and an overall height of at least 48” *. This virtually eliminates the possibility of a small child climbing over the swimming pool fence. Also, a child-resistant magnetic gate latch and self –closing gate hinges are required. This magnetic latch keeps the release mechanism out of a child’s reach and has a built-in key lock for added security.

*Please note these are highlights of the State of Massachusetts Building code 780 CMR. Many cities and towns have additional stringent modifications of this code. Although the code is complex, we can walk you through it every step of the way, thus providing a finished product that is artfully constructed of the highest quality materials with pool safety in mind.
