Great Fence
aluminum fence for swimming pools
are all about child safety!
Are
you buying an aluminum fence and gate system to go around a swimming pool?
Have you checked with your Homeowner's Association (HOA) or the city that you live in
for any aluminum pool fence and safety pool fence restrictions?

Pool safety fence
restrictions differ throughout the United States...even within the same
state.
It is your responsibility to check with your homeowners association or city to find out
what restrictions you may or may not have in regards to installing a
fence around your pool.
Some jurisdictions (and many rural areas of the U.S.) have little if any
aluminum fence swimming pool restrictions which means you can disregard the following
information if you are in a jurisdiction with no restrictions.
Many,
but
not all, jurisdictions follow BOCA which require:
A: Aluminum Fence and
gate system is at least
48"high, B: There must be 45" of
free, vertical space between the bottom horizontal rail and the next
rail up on each fence panel and gate (the
reasoning is that this rule will make it difficult if not impossible for
little children to use the fence/gate system as a ladder),
C: If not, then the
spacing between all vertical pickets must not be greater than 1 3/4",
D: The distance between
the ground and the bottom of the fence/gate system cannot be more than
4", E: all swimming pool gates should
be self-closing and self-latching, F: all swimming pool gate latches
must be at least 54"high (Magna Latch). |

BOCA Compliant Aluminum Fence
options for swimming pools:
Note: You cannot add
Small Scrolls
or
Large Scrolls or
Dog Panel to ANY of the following fence
panels or gates (scrolls and/or Dog Panel would allow a child to step up and
over...into the pool area)
|
We lower the
bottom horizontal rail (at NO additional cost to you) on aluminum fence Style 3 at 54"h to meet BOCA's 45" rule.
STYLE 1, STYLE 2,
STYLE 5, or STYLE 6 are BOCA
Compliant, at
5' high (we will drop bottom rail to meet BOCA's 45" rule).
OPTION 3
We offer 2 styles,
STYLE 7 and STYLE 8
which have double the amount of vertical pickets on each panel
and gate. The vertical pickets are only around 1 1/2"
apart and therefore prevent children from being able to climb up
and over the panel or gate. Check your local pool fencing
restrictions OR fax us a copy of the code in your area to see if
your jurisdiction allows these 2 styles as an alternative to the
above options. Typically, there is no "45 inch vertical
spacing requirement" when you use the following 2 optional
fence/gate styles. |
 |
Style 7 |
Style 8 |
We carry BOCA's aluminum
pool fence
recommended self-locking gate lock, The
Magna Lock
is a vertical, child-safety, self-locking gate latch which meets the
54"h rule...EVEN for a 48"high fencing and gate system. This
special lock can be installed....extending above the top of a gate or
lowered for higher fencing systems...just to the top of the gate.
