A pool is one of the biggest safety responsibilities a property owner takes on, and the right fence is your first line of defense. Select Fence Group designs and installs pool fencing built around one priority: keeping children, pets, and guests safe without blocking your view of the water. Every pool fence we install meets Georgia’s mandatory height, gap, and gate requirements, so you get a barrier that looks great and holds up to inspection. From self-latching gates to sightline-friendly aluminum and steel designs, we help Northeast Georgia families enclose their pool the right way.
Our Pool Fence Installation
Pool safety starts with a barrier that does its job without disappearing from view. We install pool fencing designed to meet Georgia’s pool barrier code: a minimum of 48 inches tall, no more than 4 inches of clearance between pickets or from the ground, and gates that self-close and self-latch every time. Aluminum is our most requested pool fencing material because it holds up to constant humidity and pool chemicals without rusting, and its open picket design keeps the pool visible from the house at all times, so you can always see who’s near the water. For properties that want a heavier-duty barrier, steel fencing offers the same code-conscious visibility with added strength. Whatever material you choose, every gate we install opens away from the pool and includes a self-latching mechanism placed out of small children’s reach.
Schedule a Free Fence Consultation
We'll walk your pool area with you, measure clearances, and flag anything that could keep your barrier from passing inspection, gaps, gate swing direction, or latch height.
Choose A Code-Compliant Style
We'll help you pick a material and picket spacing that satisfies Georgia's pool barrier code while keeping clear sightlines to the water. Most homeowners choose aluminum for this reason.
Get Professional Fence Installation
Our crew installs your fence to the required height and gap tolerances, with self-closing, self-latching gates set at the proper reach height so young children can't operate them.
Final Safety Walkthrough
Before we consider the job done, we test every gate and latch with you and confirm the finished fence is ready for your local pool inspection.

Pool Fence FAQs
At Select Fence Group, we provide expert fencing solutions for properties with pools in Northeast Georgia. Learn more about our pool fence installation services and how we can help secure and enhance your property.
How tall does a pool fence need to be in Georgia?
Georgia’s pool barrier code requires a minimum fence height of 48 inches. Openings in the fence, including the gap under the bottom rail, can’t allow a 4-inch sphere to pass through, which keeps small children from squeezing through or climbing under. Some counties enforce stricter local rules on top of the state minimum, so we confirm your specific requirements before installation begins.
What is a self-latching gate, and do I need one?
Yes, every gate in a pool barrier is required to be self-closing and self-latching. The gate must swing open away from the pool, and the latch release needs to sit high enough that a young child can’t reach it, generally at least 54 inches from the ground. We install and test this hardware on every pool fencing project.
What's the best fencing material for a pool enclosure?
Aluminum is the material we recommend most often. It won’t rust from constant exposure to pool water and chemicals, it requires very little maintenance, and its open picket style keeps the pool fully visible, so a parent or lifeguard can see the water at a glance. Steel is a good alternative when you want the same visibility with a heavier-duty build.
Do I need a permit for pool fencing?
In most Northeast Georgia counties and cities, yes. Pool enclosures are treated as a safety-critical structure, and permitting offices typically require an inspection to confirm the barrier meets code before you’re allowed to fill the pool. We handle the permit and inspection process as part of every pool fencing project.
Will a Select Fence Group pool fence meet my insurance or HOA requirements?
Our pool fences are built to meet Georgia’s pool barrier code, which is the standard most insurance carriers and HOAs reference when setting their own pool enclosure requirements. If your policy or HOA has additional rules, such as a taller fence or specific materials, let us know during your consultation and we’ll design around them.
