Pool Fence Installation in South Florida
A pool fence in Florida is not optional, it is the law, and it has to pass inspection before the pool can be used. We install code-compliant pool barriers across South Florida that satisfy the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act and look good doing it.
What the code requires
Florida's pool barrier law (Chapter 515) sets clear minimums: a barrier at least 48 inches high with no gaps a child can crawl under or climb over, and gates that are self-closing, self-latching, and open outward away from the pool, with the latch release at least 54 inches up on the pool-facing side. Some local jurisdictions are stricter. We build to code and confirm your city's current requirements. Full breakdown: /blog/pool-fence-requirements-florida/.
What we install
Aluminum (/aluminum-fence-installation/) is the most common code-compliant pool fence here: open, durable, corrosion-resistant, in HOA-approved colors. We also install removable mesh where it fits. Every install includes compliant self-latching gate hardware. We file the permit, build to code, and coordinate the inspection.
