Whether it is for compliance, safety, or aesthetics, adding aluminum pool fencing is an excellent idea for your property, especially if you choose fence panels by GreatFence.com. We offer a selection of professionally installed and DIY fences to help protect your property’s pool area and the people enjoying it.

What is BOCA compliant pool fencing?

Swimming pool fence restrictions differ all over the United States. In fact, they can differ even within the same city. Most BOCA codes usually call for at least 48-inch pool fences with bottom horizontal rails that won’t exceed three inches from the ground. Additionally, there must be 45 inches of space between the two innermost aluminum rails. Ideal pool fence picket spacing is 3 13/16 in compliance with the maximum 4-inch requirement. Many jurisdictions follow the BOCA national codes in some form or other. Some jurisdictions strictly follow BOCA, other jurisdictions partially follow BOCA and yet, other jurisdictions, especially many rural areas of the US, don’t follow it at all and have no restrictions. Contact your homeowner’s association, your insurance carrier and/or your local building codes to find out what, if any, restrictions are in your area before your purchase and install a swimming pool fence.
