New York State Pool Fence Requirements We Build To

Every pool fence we install is measured against New York State code. Here is what the law requires:


  • Minimum fence height of 48 inches above grade, measured from the outside of the enclosure.
  • No gap greater than 2 inches between the bottom of the fence and the ground.
  • Picket spacing that does not allow passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere.
  • Self-closing and self-latching gates that open outward, away from the pool.
  • Latch hardware on the pool side of the gate, at least 40 inches above grade.
  • A non-climbable design with no exterior horizontal bars or footholds.


Local municipalities in Onondaga County may layer additional requirements on top of the state baseline. We are familiar with the permit process and can help guide you through what your town may require.

What Materials Work Best for a Local Pool Fence?

We offer several options well-suited to the Central New York climate. Every installation comes backed by our 1-year craftsmanship warranty plus manufacturer's warranty coverage.


  • Aluminum: Rust-proof and low-maintenance, aluminum allows clear sightlines into the pool area and is available in picket spacing that meets NYS code.
  • Vinyl: Fully weather-resistant and maintenance-free, vinyl offers a cleaner, more private look with code-compliant self-latching gate hardware.
  • Chain Link: A practical, durable option that allows airflow and visibility while satisfying barrier requirements.
