Choosing the Right Pool Fence

Selecting the best swimming pool fence involves considering safety, aesthetics, and compliance with Arizonaโ€™s regulations. A well-chosen fence can prevent unauthorized access while complementing your backyardโ€™s design. Whether you prefer a sleek, modern look or a traditional, durable enclosure, we offer a range of options to suit your needs.

Why Are Swimming Pool Fences Essential?

A pool fence is an investment in safety, privacy, and maintenance. Many local regulations, including Arizonaโ€™s, require fences to be at least 48 inches tall with self-closing, self-latching gates to prevent unauthorized access.

For families with children or pets, secure fences reduce the risk of accidental entry. Additional safety features like alarms and lockable gates add further protection. Beyond security, fences provide privacy and help keep debris out of the pool, reducing maintenance while enhancing the overall look of your outdoor space. Modern designs offer both function and style, with options like glass panels, decorative iron fencing, and natural hedges.

Glass Pool Fences

Glass Pool Fences

Glass fencing offers unobstructed views while maintaining security. Made from tempered glass, these fences are highly durable, resistant to weather conditions, and provide a seamless, modern look. Frameless designs add a high-end feel, while framed options offer additional durability and style.
Wrought Iron Pool Fences

Wrought Iron Pool Fences

Timeless and highly durable, wrought iron fences provide a strong and elegant barrier. Available in various heights and decorative finishes, they blend seamlessly with any backyard. Powder-coated iron prevents rust and corrosion, making it an ideal choice for Arizonaโ€™s climate. Self-closing, self-latching gates enhance safety for families with young children.
Mesh Pool Fences

Mesh Pool Fences

Mesh fences are a budget-friendly and removable safety solution. These lightweight barriers are easy to install and provide a climb-resistant enclosure that helps keep children out of the pool area. Their transparent design maintains visibility while ensuring security. For families needing a temporary or flexible option, mesh fencing is a practical choice.
Privacy Walls & Hedges

Privacy Walls & Hedges

For homeowners looking to add both privacy and security, natural barriers such as hedges or decorative privacy panels are excellent choices. Green walls and thick landscaping shield your pool from outside views while blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment. These options can also be combined with fencing for added protection without compromising aesthetics.
Rust-Resistant Aluminum Pool Fences

Rust-Resistant Aluminum Pool Fences

Aluminum fences are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and require minimal maintenance, making them a practical alternative to iron fencing. They offer strong security while remaining cost-effective. Weather-resistant and highly customizable, aluminum fences can seamlessly blend with any backyard aesthetic while providing long-lasting protection.

Finding the Best Pool Fence for Your Home

Choosing the right pool fence requires balancing safety, aesthetics, and functionality. Families with small children often prioritize mesh fences with self-latching gates for added security. Homeowners seeking a modern, unobstructed view may prefer frameless glass panels. Iron fences offer a traditional, durable option, while aluminum provides a rust-resistant, low-maintenance alternative. Each material caters to different needs, making it important to consider both design preferences and long-term upkeep.

Image

Arizona Pool Fencing Regulations

Arizona pool safety laws require secure barriers to prevent unauthorized access, particularly for families with children or pets. Fences must be at least 48 inches high, with self-closing, self-latching gates positioned out of reach of small children. Spacing between vertical bars should not exceed 4 inches, preventing easy climbing or slipping through gaps. Compliance ensures safety, peace of mind, and legal adherence, and CPL helps homeowners select pool fences that meet both design preferences and Arizonaโ€™s safety codes.

Image

Comparing Pool Fence Materials, Which One is Right for You?

The best pool fence material depends on durability, cost, and design preferences. Glass fences provide an upscale aesthetic with unobstructed views. Iron and aluminum fences deliver long-lasting strength, with aluminum offering a rust-proof, low-maintenance alternative. Mesh fences provide a budget-friendly, practical solution, while hedges and privacy walls create a natural, decorative enclosure. Choosing the right material ensures both long-term performance and seamless integration with your outdoor space.

More Than Safety โ€“ The Perks of Pool Fences

Beyond safety, pool fences contribute to privacy, cleanliness, and property value. A well-placed fence creates a more secluded outdoor space while preventing leaves, dirt, and debris from entering the pool. Smart security features such as motion sensors, alarmed gates, and self-closing hinges enhance safety while adding convenience. Investing in a high-quality fence improves protection and enhances the overall usability and aesthetic appeal of your pool area.

California pools was the most responsive from the time I requested a quote and had great communication through to the end of the project. They had the resources needed even during the busy season and shortage of products. We love our pool and glad we chose them for our project!

So far, so good with CalPools. We are grateful we are working with Paul Swirski. He has guided us through the process thus far, and has been fair, honest, and professional. We came in with a vision, but a on a budget, and Paul's experience has helped us design an amazing pool for our new house. We will continue to update as the construction phase begins, but three cheers for Paul!

TOP NOTCH IN EVERY WAY My HAYWARD POOL PUMP failed out-of-warranty and CALPOOL assisted in getting it replaced by HAYWARD and then installed the PUMP at-no-cost; even though they were under no obligation to do so. Leslie was incredibly helpful and had the replacement pump installed the day after the PUMP arrived at my residence from Hayward. I recommend CALPOOL without reservation. Rick D.

We are first time pool owners and had our first pool completed about a couple months ago and from the get-go we knew that Calpools AZ was our right pool builder choice. Mike L was so patient and helpful when we were selecting the finishing and layout of our pool. Our construction manager was Howard-what a nice and knowledgeable man, he walked us through the entire build process and kept us informed throughout the 8 weeks it took them to complete the pool. Last but not least, Marcee Walker, the superb customer service she provided us with was something you expect but rarely received. Anytime we asked for status she always responded promptly and if we had any concerns or reported any issues, she always responded with "we'll gladly take care of that for you right away". If you are looking for a pool builder, we would strongly recommend Calpools AZ, you will not regret it. Thanks again, we are truly enjoying and loving our new pool. The Delgadillos

We had a spool remodel done last year! Cody, our remodel designer was wonderful to work with. He was personable and explained the process of our remodel! He was always available via text, email or phone call to answer any questions or address any concerns. He truly cared about our remodel! Stephanie was fantastic as a schedulerโ€ฆshe was also great with communication via phone or the portal โ€ฆ she kept things moving, not an easy job! Eric stepped in as project manager mid remodel and was also very helpful in checking on the job and keeping us informed! Noah has been terrific tooโ€ฆanswering any questions we have about warranty! Weโ€™ve been very happy with CPLโ€ฆthey were the original builders of our spool almost 20 years ago, and now our remodel! Itโ€™s been a pleasure working with them!

We are extremely pleased with our California pool and the professionalism shown by their staff. From start to finish the pool was completed within two months. Special thanks to Ron, Shawn and Marcee for their dedicated attention. We are new to Arizona and this is our first pool. We looked at many different companies but California Pool impressed us with their knowledge and personal service. We made the right choice! Thanks, The Grassi's

My project was medium sized, I guess, based on the different options that we originally discussed vs. what we ended up getting, which was a design for my entire empty backyard that included a pool, spa, fire pit, gas grilling island, artificial turf, pavers, and landscaping plants, trees, and the like. The project was divided into phases to allow us to get the grilling island and artificial turf at a later time, while having the necessary electrical and gas connections installed in the correct location, while the plumbing for the pool and spa where being done prior to putting down the pavers. When deciding on a company for our backyard project, we talked to several companies. Robby S. met with us, after hours on a few occasions to accommodate our schedules, and designed a very nice backyard. This accommodation was one of the deciding factors on choosing CPL. The communication of the status of the project was pretty good. Theresa G. sent e-mails detailing the schedule, which was spot on for the most part and updated as needed. When I (or my wife) had questions or issues, they were answered/resolved immediately, even after the project was completed. Thanks Robby, Duane, and Theresa! The construction manager, Duane Y., is awesome! He is very responsive, in that everytime I called or e-mailed him with a question or issue, he showed up at my house the next morning to make sure it was resolved. When filling my pool, Duane noticed that I had two hoses connected together. He reconfigured them so that they filled the pool twice as fast. The pool startup guy, Ryan, I believe, was very patient with us when training us during the pool start up and optimization. The construction crew did really nice and efficient work. They also kept the place tidy during construction and worked quickly. I'm really happy with the work that was done on my backyard transformation design, pool, spa, fire pit, and pavers by CPL. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get a pool or transform your backyard, as I did.

I am in love with my new backyard... and CA Pools and Landscaping! From complete dirt (litterally) to a colorful masterpiece! Who would have thought that some trees, plants, lighting and turf would make me want to hang out in 100 (plus) degree weather. The entire job took two days. The crews were in and out and were very respectful and clean. I would highly recommend CA Pools not only for your pool, but for your landscaping remodeling needs!

Our pool remodel went very smoothly thanks to everyone at California Pools. From Les, who was our Project Manager to Rick our Construction Manager and Sara our Scheduling Manager-we always knew what to expect. Les explained the entire process to us. Rick was always available to check on how things were progressing and answer any questions. Sara was great-always available and keeping us updated on when different crews were coming out. California Pools is great at keeping the client in the loop of what's going on. We are so happy with how our pool remodel has turned out. They did a terrific job. California Pools was recommended to us by a family member and we would definitely recommend California Pools to any of our friends or family.

California Pools is an absolute amazing company to work with. We met with many different companies to build our ideal pool. From the first meeting with Christopher Robinson, we knew this company was special. Chris listened to exactly what we wanted and made a computer image of our vision within 15 minutes. It was exactly what we had described!! Our Construction Managers Jordan and Steve were great people to work with. They kept us updated and on schedule. If something changed, they would contact us immediately with updates. Karl our Hardscape Manager was also on top of everything. He took every concern we had and made them right. We have heard horror stories of people building pools and things going wrong, not with this company. They were amazing!! We can not recommend CA Pools enough. Thank you CA Pools for making our dream backyard a reality!!!

California pools was great from the very beginning. My project manager Cody Risdon was extremely knowledgeable, personable, courteous and professional. They didn't cut any corners. They were extremely efficient and realistic in the expectactions and price. The final product turned out better than what I expected. Sara Dougan, Victoria Collins and Danielle DeMiguel were each assigned to manage a different aspect of my project to ensure efficiency, timeliness and quality. And I tell you what; they will treat you like family. I was completely at ease with each step of the project thanks to their dedication to the project and desire to make things right. They took the time to send my wife flowers when they found out my she just gave birth! Michael Moore was the construction supervisor and he was there at every step ensuring the project had the highest quality work. He told crews to redo countless small details that most people would overlook. He came to the job site several times a week to make sure things were done right. He kept an open dialogue and promptly responded to any concerns I had or corrections I requested. California Pools is a top notch company who has been around longer than most. They are more concerned with producing a quality product than earning a cheap buck. I honestly couldn't be happier with these guys, and I would trust them without reserve.

Our experience was excellent with California Pools and Landscape. We met with Steve R the project manager at the Chandler office. Steve was helpful and knowledgeable. In a 1 hour appointment we had a design we could see and a price to perform the work. The design/discovery session was very helpful as several of the ideas and materials Steve presented we had never seen and would not have known were options. We informed Steve that the most important aspect to us was a quality, safe, quick turnaround. Steve moved the process through design and permitting quick (our project was a landscape project no pool) within three weeks of our appointment Jamin W had his crew on site performing work. The crew showed up everyday and cleaned up at the end of their workday. I actually never saw or met the crew. Had I not looked in the backyard I would have never known they were there. California Pools and Landscape had the job substantially complete in just over a week (some minor asthetic items took a bit longer but we're not critical to our project and were not a huge concern.). After they completed the project Luis came by to walk the quality and perform an owner training. The one negative is the payment process. You must make most of the payments (significant amountsโ€‹) prior to the work being performed. If you want to pay on a credit card there is a 3% fee which adds up. We were very nervous about paying before the work was complete. We called Steve to talk through this and he assured us they were not the type to run with your money. California Pools did not let us down and is a trust worthy company that holds up their end of the bargain. The bottom line you will pay a little more going through California Pools, but you will get a well planned design, a safe professional crew and a project that looks amazing.

CAL Pools is super on customer service. When we have a question on how to operate our pool filter, or getting that light fixture back on etc. you send an email and they get back to you with tips, saving on setting up unnecessary service calls. I told my husband -lets shoot them an email and see if they have an answer and they always do! Thank you Cari@calpoools.

We have used them 3 times because they build GORGEOUS pools and backyards!!! They are VERY TALENTED, EFFICIENT AND THEY STAND BEHIND THEIR VERY HIGH END QUILTY WORKMANSHIP!!!!

My pool and backyard construction was just recently completed. From start to finish, California Pools & Landscape handled the supply chain and labor issues professionally. Almost everything is handled through an app (communications with scheduling, installation dates, etc.) so you don't have to spend endless hours emailing or calling to ask "what's next?". My project manager/designer was Cody Risdon who did an absolutely amazing job incorporating everything I asked. He was knowledgeable, courteous and incredibly professional. Sara handled all of the scheduling and a lot of the communications on when certain portions of the project were to be installed. She was (and still is) on top of everything. She responded efficiently and made the process easier. My construction manager Duane has also been great. As with any new construction, we do a punchout walkthrough when almost everything is complete to make any adjustments. Duane has been on top of everything that I have asked. While the process was long, the team at Cal made it easier. I'm thrilled with my yard, and can't recommend CPL enough. Thank you all!

I met with California Pools right after signing for my new build in 2021. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that it was going to take almost two years to finish the house. California Pools was awesome and patient with me the whole way. Once the new house was ready, California Pools was on-site the day after closing to start the process. Jordan Thrasher and Sara Dougan were wonderful to work with. Jordan answered every little question I had along the way. Sara was on top of scheduling to let me know when to expect people to be on-site and to handle other little emergencies along the way. I didn't expect that we were going to be able to use our pool this summer, but Jordan and team had the pool ready and gave the blessing to fill it by mid-June. My family absolutely loved having our pool and we made constant use of it. I can't thank California Pools, Jordan, and Sara enough for their efforts.

Can't say enough about California Pools and Landscape. Working with design planner Paul and construction manager Matt was courteous and professional from start to finish. Everything was laid out in advance, no surprises, proceeded like clockwork. When inevitable issues arose, we worked through several design changes, all without headache. Surprisingly, they even went above and beyond at times, exceeding even our high expectations. Today, we can't believe the paradise we live in, thanks to California Pools and Landscape!

When we first selected California Pools, we were extremely happy with the service and attention to detail. The end product was perfect! We recently had a need to engage with California Pool for some work that is within warranty and a item outside of warranty. And they immediately stepped up and sent out technicians and the communication was very consistent as they kept me informed throughout. From start to finish, California pools stepped up and delivered. We sincerely appreciate the support from the team, especially Leslie and Cari for their terrific coordination!!

our experienced with California Pool and Landscape was very enjoyable.

Asked Questions About Swimming Pool Barriers


Q: Do I need a pool fence?

Yes, most local regulations require pool fences to prevent unauthorized access. In Arizona, fences must be at least 48 inches high with self-closing, self-latching gates to comply with safety laws.

Q: What is the most durable pool fence material?

Glass offers a modern, upscale appearance, iron provides durability and security, mesh is an affordable, child-safe option, and aluminum balances affordability with weather resistance.

Q: Can I combine different fence types?

Yes! Many homeowners mix materials to achieve both style and security. Glass panels can be paired with aluminum posts, or iron fences can be combined with privacy hedges for a custom look.

Q: What are the safety requirements for a pool fence?

Fences must be at least 48 inches tall, with gaps no wider than four inches between vertical bars. Gates should be self-closing and self-latching, with latches placed at least 54 inches above the ground to prevent child access.

Q: What is the safest pool fence for children?

Mesh pool fences with self-closing gates are among the safest options, as they are climb-resistant and removable when no longer needed.

Q: Will a pool fence increase my home value?

Yes! High-quality pool fences improve safety, curb appeal, and resale value. Glass and iron fences are particularly desirable in luxury outdoor spaces.

Q: How do I maintain my pool fence?

Maintenance depends on the material. Glass should be cleaned regularly, iron and aluminum fences should be inspected for rust, and mesh fences should be checked for wear and tear. Wood and hedges require periodic sealing and trimming.
