Aluminum is a favorite for Florida pool barriers: it will not rot, it keeps the pool in view and the powder coat holds in the sun. We supply the panels, the puppy picket and the self-closing gate hardware.
Florida's residential pool barrier law, Florida Statute 515.29, sets the basics: a barrier at least 4 ft high on the outside, no gaps a young child can crawl through, squeeze through or climb, and gates that swing outward and close and latch by themselves. Your county adds details, and a required pool barrier needs a permit in the City of Orlando. Read our guide below, and ask us for the spec sheet of any style.
Puppy picket and double picket reduce the gaps, either along the bottom or across the whole panel.
Pool gates need self-closing, self-latching hardware, with the release on the pool side. Antebellum gates ship without hardware, so add it to the order.
Height, gap and gate rules come from F.S. 515.29 and your county. Tell us the fence is for a pool and we send the spec sheet of the style so you can confirm with the permit office.
Yes. Pool gates must swing outward and close and latch automatically, so they use self-closing, self-latching hardware.
In the City of Orlando, a fence that serves as a required pool or spa barrier needs a permit. Check your own city or county.
Aluminum fence with short extra pickets along the bottom of each panel. They close the low gaps where small dogs slip through, and the top stays open.
