Davie pool barriers must meet Florida’s Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act. Fence With Style installs code-compliant pool fencing with self-closing, self-latching gates for homes on standard lots and acreage alike.
What Florida pool code requires
- Minimum 48-inch height on the barrier’s exterior.
- 4-inch sphere rule — no gap a 4-inch ball can pass.
- Self-closing, self-latching gates swinging away from the pool, latch at least 54 inches high.
These come from Florida Statute 515 and FBC Residential R4501.17.1.
Pool fence options we install
Marine-grade aluminum, removable mesh, and glass, all with compliant self-closing gates and magnetic latches.
Permits & inspection
Pool barriers require a permit and inspection. We pull the Town of Davie permit and confirm the install passes.
Pool barriers on Davie properties
Whether your pool sits on a standard lot or open acreage, the barrier must meet Florida Statute 515 and R4501.17.1 — at least 48 inches tall, no gap a 4-inch sphere passes, and a self-closing, self-latching gate that swings outward. On larger yards, removable mesh is popular because it’s easy to take down when adults are present and reinstall for child and pet safety, while aluminum gives a permanent, low-maintenance barrier. We build to pass inspection the first time.
