Pool fence installation in San Diego. Code-compliant, built safe.
California Title 24 pool barrier code is strict and the enforcement is real — realtors flag missing or non-compliant pool fences on every home sale. We install removable mesh, permanent glass, wrought iron, and ornamental aluminum pool fences to exact code spec, with self-closing, self-latching gates every time.
What's included in this service?
- Removable mesh pool fence — the fastest-to-install code-compliant option
- Permanent glass pool fence — frameless or framed, stainless hardware

- Gate alarm installation where required by insurance
- Non-climbable design (no horizontal rails under 45 inches)

What do homeowners ask about Pool Fence?
What does California pool fence code require?
Title 24 requires a barrier at least 60 inches high with no openings larger than 4 inches. Gates must be self-closing, self-latching, and open outward (away from the pool) with the latch release at least 60 inches above grade. The bottom of the fence can't be more than 2 inches off the ground. Pool alarms may substitute for fence components in some configurations.
Mesh vs glass vs aluminum pool fence — which is best?
Removable mesh ($22–$32/linear foot) is the fastest and cheapest compliant option, visible but low-key. Ornamental aluminum ($45–$75/linear foot) is the most common permanent option — 20+ year life, low maintenance. Frameless glass ($95–$175/linear foot) is premium — unobstructed view, best for view lots.
Do pool fence requirements apply to existing pools?
Yes, when the property changes hands. Home inspectors and insurance carriers flag non-compliant pool barriers at sale and renewal. Some jurisdictions grandfather existing fences until they're modified. We assess and advise before quoting.
Can I install a pool fence myself?
Removable mesh pool fence kits are DIY-possible but the code details (gate hardware, latch height, spacing) are where most fail inspection. Insurance and resale verification are smoother when a licensed installer documented the install. We inspect any DIY install for code issues before a home sale.

Homeowners who hired us for this
Got three quotes for a new cedar fence. Fence Pros was the only company that actually walked the whole line, pulled the HOA spec, and showed me a stain sample before quoting. Clean crew, clean jobsite, beautiful finish.
Our 12-year-old fence was leaning bad and I thought we needed a full replacement. They installed steel post inserts on six posts, saved the panels, and the fence looks great for another decade. Saved me thousands.
Needed a code-compliant pool fence before our home sale. They came out same-week, quoted honestly, and installed glass panel fencing that passed inspection on the first try. Handled everything — measurement, hardware, final walk-through.
