Your compliant options
The common choices are pool-code aluminum, picket vinyl, and removable mesh. Aluminum and vinyl are permanent and add curb appeal; mesh is removable and lowest-cost.
- Removable mesh — most economical, child-safe, removable
- Aluminum (Alamo) — permanent, lifetime finish
- Vinyl picket — permanent, zero maintenance
What the code requires
Florida's residential pool barrier code sets minimum height, maximum gaps, and self-closing, self-latching gates with the latch at a safe height. We build to pass inspection the first time.
Cost factors
Length around the pool or yard, gate count, and material drive the price. We handle the permit and meet the inspector so your barrier is signed off, not just installed.
Frequently asked questions
Does a screen enclosure count as a pool barrier?
Often yes, if it meets code, but many homes still need a fence for the yard perimeter. We'll confirm what your property requires.
