Pool safety fencing installed to regulations around swimming pools. Self-closing gates, proper height and spacing - keeps children safe and meets legal requirements.
Pool Safety Is Non-Negotiable
Got a swimming pool? You legally need proper safety fencing around it. Not optional, not negotiable - it's the law, and for good reason.
💡 Pro tip: Pool safety requirements are strict because even a few seconds of unsupervised access can be fatal for young children. Get it done properly.

Good to Know
🎨 Building control: New pools usually need building control approval, which includes the safety fencing. Retrofitting fencing to an existing pool doesn't normally need approval, but it must still meet the safety standards.
Glass vs metal vs mesh? All have pros and cons. Glass looks best but costs more. Metal railings are durable and mid-price. Mesh fencing is cheapest but less attractive. All can be compliant if installed properly.
Multiple access points? Every gate must be self-closing and self-latching - no exceptions. If you've got pool access from house and garden, both need proper gates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I legally need a fence around my pool?
If it's a permanent swimming pool (not inflatable paddling pool), yes - you need proper safety barriers to prevent unsupervised child access. There are specific height and spacing requirements in the regulations.
What are the fence requirements?
Minimum 1.2m high, gaps no more than 100mm, self-closing and self-latching gate, positioned so kids can't climb it. The regulations are quite specific - it needs doing properly to be compliant.
Can you install any type of pool fence?
Yes - glass panels, metal railings, mesh fencing, whatever suits your pool and garden. As long as it meets the safety requirements, I can install it.
How long does installation take?
Usually a full day for an average pool, sometimes two days for larger pools or complex layouts. Depends on fence type, pool size, and ground conditions.
Do you provide the fencing materials?
I can supply and fit, or fit materials you've bought. Either way works. If you want me to supply, I'll measure up and get a quote for the complete job.
