Hollywood 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 and salt-air-resistant materials for beach-area homes.
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 suited to coastal Hollywood.
Permits & inspection
Pool barriers require a permit and inspection. We pull the City of Hollywood permit and confirm the install passes.
Passing your Hollywood pool barrier inspection
Most inspection failures come down to a few things: a gap under the fence larger than the allowed sphere, a gate that doesn’t self-close and self-latch, or a latch mounted below the required height. We build to Florida Statute 515 and R4501.17.1 from the start — correct height, spacing, and an outward-swinging self-closing gate with a high magnetic latch — and we stay through inspection so it passes the first time.
