Pool Fence Options For Western New York

The Buffalo, NY / Western New York climate can be tough on pool owners, with our short hot summers and stunningly cold winters. Every pool needs a fence, and whether you want a pool fence that allows easy visibility, or a full privacy fence to protect your family from prying eyes, City Fence has the optimum pool fence for you.


When Choosing Your Pool Fence, the main things to consider are:


  • Pool Fence Code Compliance
  • Pool Fences For Visibility or Privacy
  • Pool Fence Materials

Your Pool Fence Must Be Pool Code Compliant

To deter potential climbers from unauthorized entry, New York State & BOCA (Building Officials and Code Administrators) Pool Codes specify:


  • A minimum pool fence height of 48in
  • A minimum space between the fence lower-most top rail and the bottom rail of 45in
  • A maximum spacing between fence horizontal or vertical bars of 4in
  • Self-closing & self-latching fence gates, with a latch at least 54in high, that open outward from the pool
