Which mesh opening meets pool barrier code?
The 1" x 1". Pool codes allow up to a 4-inch opening only where a barrier's horizontal members sit 45 inches or more apart. Welded wire has horizontal wires every few inches, so it is held to the tighter 1.75-inch limit instead. Our 2"x2", 2"x6" and 4"x4" openings are excellent fences and are not pool barriers.
How tall does a pool fence have to be?
48 inches is the common minimum and California requires 60 inches. Every size on this page clears 60 inches.
What about the gap at the bottom?
No more than 2 inches between grade and the bottom of the barrier. On sloping ground that usually means stepping the panels rather than raking them.
Do I need a special gate?
Yes. Pool gates must be self-closing and self-latching, swing away from the pool, and carry the latch at 60 inches. Always confirm the specifics with your local building department.
