Aluminum Swimming Pool Fences


Aluminum Swimming Pool Fences

Ultra designs aluminum fencing to meet all the stringent BOCA swimming pool safety codes. Several Ultra Residential picket fence styles are specifically designed to comply with BOCA code. The most important compliance factors for ornamental aluminum fence are:

  1. Fence must be at least 48" (4 ft) tall.
  2. The mid-rail must be at least 45" above the bottom rail.
  3. The spacing between pickets must be less than 4".
  4. The space between the bottom rail and the ground must be less than 4".
  5. Gates must be self-closing, self-latching, and open outward (away from the pool area).
  6. The opening mechanism of the latch must be at least 54" above ground.

“Flush” is when the bottom rail encloses the bottom of the pickets, so no pickets are exposed.

“Modified” is when the bottom rail has been moved down to meet code, leaving the bottom of the pickets exposed.

Always check local code before ordering and installing pool fencing. Ultra assumes no liability for improper installation. Code compliance is the sole responsibility of contractor.
