What does it mean for a fence to meet pool code, and what fences can Easter Fence install that will meet the code?
• The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (www.cpsc.gov) has released a set of pool code guidelines, but individual municipalities have freedom to apply the recommended guidelines more or less stringently. In general, fences around pools should be no less than 48″ tall with no less than 45″ between horizontal rails. Alternatively, if the horizontal rails are closer than 45″ apart, then the fence can be at least 48″ tall with no less than 1-3/4″ spacing between the pickets. All gates should be self-closing and self-latching. • Every Easter Fence estimator is familiar with the national code and the codes of local municipalities, and the estimator will be sure to highlight the styles of fence that will meet your pool fencing needs. Easter Fence can install pool code-compliant styles of all varieties of fence. • For more detailed information, see: CPSC Guidelines Pool Safety Brochure Examples of local guidelines: St.
