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.

From the day I choose CA Pools & Landscape through project completion, I have always been impressed. They are a TRUE Design-Build team with open communication and transparency. This ensures the customer is always up to speed with any changes. Steve R (Design), Steve D (Construction) along with Jordan, Gabe (Startup) are amazing with their approach. Sara D is the glue that binds it all together. With all the trades involved and ever changing decisions (mostly from me), she was instrumental in keeping the process moving. From initial design to a finished pool, spa landscape package built in less than 2.5 months is Amazing! I will highly recommend them to anyone in need.

California Pools was awesome to work with. Our Project Manager Ted made us feel like family and was quick to answer any questions we had no matter the time. Dustin also made sure all questions related to the construction were answered. Lots of moving parts and Ted and his team didn't miss a beat. We are beyond happy and excited with our new pool!!

Hire CA pools for your pool/spa project. CA pools came well-recommended by friends here in the Phoenix-metro area. From the first time our salesman, Stephen Reichmuth, walked through our front door until project completion, my wife and I have been very impressed with the speed of construction, quality, and finished product. Sarese Ferguson from the local office regularly emailed us about construction scheduling and patiently/ professionally answered our questions. I was very pleased with our construction supervisor, Sean Beavers, who came to our site almost every day to insure we were happy with progress. Sean is a very positive, patient person and an obvious expert in his field. He gets things done. Our pool was completed one month ahead of schedule! CA Pools exceeded our expectations at every step of construction. We now have a beautiful pool that has beautifully transformed our backyard, and is a lot of fun to use. We could not be happier.

CP designed and built our pool several years ago. We love it! On the rare occasion we have had a seal go bad or pump problems, we have been very happy with the service. They return calls or emails promptly and have someone at our residence within 24-48 hours. They follow up after the service to make sure we are satisfied and that everything is working. I strongly recommend California Pools!

We had gone thru multiple companies to get a quote and it was so frustrating that none of them could get our vision right. We kept explaining that we wanted modern, simple, etc. and they kept giving us these outrageous designs, tripling our budget. California pools, Ryan and Duane specifically listened, created a design that we LOVED and followed through with the construction process. The communication with california pool was top tier. The overall pool & equipment was done so well. It was such a great experience and we are SO happy with our entire backyard now.

Love our new pool and back yard. California pools staff helped us all the way with great design ideas and site layout. The installation was handled on schedule, the crews that came to the house were professional and good to deal with. Harscape crew was awesome and the landscaping crew helped us with ideas for other parts of our yard. The tile work was amazing and everyone worked very hard to stay on schedule. Cannot say enough good things about the process and the results!

We did as most customers do and shopped around before ultimately choosing California Pools. We had a few communication issues with our initial design before it was finalized but overall we had a great experience with California Pools. Our project looks amazing and family and friends all mention the great workmanship of the pool, the Ramada and the travertine deck. The entire Cal Pools team was great but there are a few individuals who we must mention. Thank you to Grace Johnson for the assistance, direction and patients in getting our project financed. Even though our project started the day after Thanksgiving we had no major delays. Scheduling through the entire process was easy since Myra Olson kept us in the loop and constantly informed from the onset of the project. It was great to be able to send her an email with questions or concerns and receive a response immediately almost every time. All the crews were very friendly and professional but we have to acknowledge Matt and the masonry crew. Julio and his team did an excellent job with the masonry portion of the Ramada and an excellent job with the travertine paver decking. Great, great attention to detail. We would be remiss if we didn't mention our project manager Pete Barrera. He made himself so accessible and returned calls and emails without hesitation. He dealt with every question or concern we had and that made this experience that much better. I'm sure he had other projects to deal with but he always made us feel like our project was his priority. The fact that he visited the site almost daily even if just for a few minutes helped minimize the number of items on the punch list. Thank you! We definitely recommend California Pools

I recently had some warranty work completed. The work consisted of replacing some tumbled travertine that had worn away around the edges, replacing the irrigation clock and replacing some travertine pool coping. Previously my spa light needed replacing which was done within 5 days of reporting the claim. The Warranty Manager Michael, Warranty coordinator Cari and Edgar ( person who actually did the work with one helper). As usual Cal Pools delivered in a timely and professional manner. I highly recommend Cal Pools for having a fair price, superb warranty and pleasant people to deal with. We always speak highly of this customer focused organization!

My husband and I are thrilled with our new pool! We initially met with Mike Lillis who drew up a great design for us. He was so easy to work with and spent time with us to come up with the most amazing pool and spa while keeping within the budget we had set. Once everything was rolling it was a steady and fast process. Shawn was always on the ball and oversaw the project. Marcee was amazing with all the email correspondence, because I always liked knowing who was coming next. It really was such a great experience and I highly recommend California Pools.

We started our process contacting 5-6 pool companies. Cal pools was the first company we contacted and our designer was Christopher Robinson. He had a design and prices within a couple hours. Contacted the other companies and no one even had a design within a week let alone prices for me. Chris was absolutely fantastic in every way possible. Any change we made he would have a new design and price almost immediately. There was a lack of communication in the middle of the build where we couldnโ€™t get a hold of the construction manager or scheduler, I contacted Chris and he said that wasnโ€™t right and he made sure someone reached out to me the very next day. They switched our schedule coordinator after that to a lady named Vina Ortega. Vina was a superstar for us. Her communication, knowledge, and all around customer service was top notch. Both Chris and Vina seemed genuinely happy for our family. I would highly recommend Cal pools. We are happy customers. Thank You!

We had shopped around, and working with a tight budget, California Pools & Landscape were the only ones willing to work with what we had. The sales person, Mort, was so helpful, and made this project much easier than we expected. We loved the 3D pictures that he provided as we were designing the pool. That made it so much easier to imagine, and nailed it dead on. We were able to get more than what we thought we would be able to afford, and have to say that the entire family was happy. Choosing the colors I thought was going to be difficult, but Mort made it a family event. Coming out with samples, taking us outside with a glass bowl of water, we were able to get a feel of how the different finishes would look. (Have to say a BIG thanks to Mort for standing outside with us that day, it was 114 degrees) From the start, Steve the project supervisor, came out and explained what the process was going to be. The communication between myself and everyone I dealt with at California Pools couldn't have been better. After each process, Steve came out to make sure that the work was done properly. We really appreciated the attention that they gave to the quality of the work being done, making sure every step was completed correctly. We have been enjoying our California Pool for 1 month now, and the kids are enjoying it every day. We would like to express our thanks to California Pools for working with us, knowing we were on a budget, and making our backyard enjoyable for family.

We had an error message pop up on our screen regarding our salt cell which we clean regularly the first of every month. Called Cal Pools it did take 3 weeks to get an appointment but when Alan came out he was professional and very informative! While we had been cleaning the salt cell every month with the pressure hose but we were not letting it soak in muric acid as he showed me how to do. This was something that was not told to us upon the initial review of the system. He replaced it and made sure everything was working great and he was impressed on how well we have taken care of the pool except for this little mishap and for that there was no charge for the replacement and trip out. Though going over the system with him was very informative, i video taped the first initial review of all the working parts but several things were not spoken of/discussed at that time. I recommend doing a yearly review with customers to make sure everything is going well. Big shot out to Alan!

We are thrilled with our pool and landscaping! We went with California Pools because they did EVERYTHING! They transformed a small, very plain backyard into our own little oasis with a freeform pool complete with a Baja Shelf, lighting, landscaping, and a soothing water feature. Leann Madar kept us well informed on what was happening and when. Matt Sauer got us started with a beautiful plan and Matt White checked on us all along the way, making sure we were satisfied, feeling comfortable, and answering our many questions. Each team in the construction of the pool and yard did their part in this project in a timely fashion and the worksite was kept tidy throughout. Todd Stewart was extremely patient and helpful in teaching us how to care for our pool and Luis is continuing to assist us with the new plants.

We couldn't be happier with the completed pool installed by Cal Pools. Granted, it took some time, with material shortages, labor challenges and weather, but the pros at Cal Pools didn't waiver from their commitment to us to deliver a professionally installed pool. The contractors showed up on time, cleaned up as the worked and treated our property as their own. We were referred to Cal Pools by our good friends. This is our 5th pool build and we were pretty sure we knew what we wanted. David Love, our designer, laid out exactly what we described. This is NO PLAY POOL. 26' wide, 48' long and 3.5'-10' deep with an elevated diving board. 67,000 gallons of water. We highly recommend Cal Pools and if you have an option, choose David Love for design. He also has a great sense of humor.

At the start of our process, we were looking for the least expensive route available. As things went along in our research process, we decided we didn't want to pay more than we had to, but we also wanted to ensure it was done right. We decided there was great value in things like excellent customer service, quality work, good communicaiton, accessibility and flexibility from our sales guy, Dave Grau. He truly listened to what we wanted from a pool and backyard, provided an initial plan, listened to our feedback and gave us several adjusted plans. He suggested Kool Deck over concrete (which we went with) and supported our decision for an in-floor cleaning system, provided suggestions on low maintenance plants (as we knew little about desert landscape options), etc. As the project progressed we really appreciated the updates from Sarah Dougan and the expertise from Sean Bradburn. The cost was somewhat higher than the other couple places we looked into but, as I said before, we wanted it done right and done promptly and CPL was able to get in while the house was being built. It was worth it to us!

I wish to express my thanks and gratitude for the service quality I experienced from dealing with California Pools and especially Leslie Gallegos and to Todd the Technichan. Their efforts in response, communication and professional repair are commendable. My compliments to the company, and these two individuals who represent the company.

My Dream Pool - Polynesian Paradise in AZ! I obtained three quotes before deciding to move forward with California Pools to build my dream pool, and I have absolutely no regrets. One of the many important aspects of trusting a pool company with my yard and money was the requirement of excellent communication. When obtaining quotes, the other pool companies did not follow up with me or did so far too late after on-site visits and lots of my time invested; however, from the very beginning of the initial pool design and layout (Thank you to the late, Scott Greenbank) every aspect of getting the pool built I was informed each and every step of the way, whether is was the scheduling of various stages, or even delays. The CPL app was an excellent resource to keep me up to date on everything and when I needed extra details or information, Alex Barone-Jay was always there with an answer for me in a timely manner as were the friendly staff in the Queen Creek Office. In fact, each person associated with my pool build was an expert in their craft and it was fun and fascinating to watch it come to life over several months. I struck gold with having Adam Redding as my Pool Supervisor/Superintendent. Adam is knowledgeable and personable and ensured to follow up on all the stages of the build and for those reasons I never worried about anything! The end result was exactly what I wanted and dreamed of for the pool. It was a pleasure and I'm so grateful to California Pools for not only this pool, but for the continued support and follow up when I had questions or needed anything!

Coordinated imagine concrete out promptly to repair and fix the problem. Thank you again California pools.

We requested bids for a new pool build from 4 different companies and chose California Pools due to their professionalism and word of mouth reviews. They were very upfront with the timeframe of the build times and walked us through what to expect. Our project manager Christian Pierre and our construction manager Jordan Thrasher we're fantastic to work with. They were always prompt at responding to any questions we had and made the entire project run extremely smooth. Each phase of the project was completed on or before the estimated dates and the contractors that did work were always courteous and did an amazing job. We couldn't be happier with the pool and they did a top notch job! We couldn't have made a better decision by choosing this company to do our pool.

As an update... We completed my pool last year and we love it. We did have a problem with the performance of the heater and its internal controls, and Bianca at Cal Pools has been very responsive in getting technicians out the next day as needed, and they stayed involved until the issues were resolved. While I wish I wouldn't have had the issue in the first place, it happens... and I was happy with their good customer service after the sale.

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.
