Aluminum Pool Fence

A swimming pool is a wonderful addition to your home. You want to ensure the safety of those you love by installing an aluminum pool fence around it. Most pool codes or BOCA codes require that pool fence should be at least 48 inches tall. The bottom horizontal rail should be no more than three inches from the ground. Most aluminum pool fence codes want 45 inches between the two innermost rails. This is so a child can’t get a foothold and pull themselves over. Pool fence picket spacing is 3 13/16 to make the less than 4 inch spacing required by pool code. Above ground pools must also follow state and local pool codes if the water is at least 18 inches deep.
