Yes, ornamental steel is an excellent choice for pool safety fencing, provided it is designed and installed according to specific safety standards. We offer several styles that can be fabricated to satisfy the International Code Council (ICC) standards and local building codes in the Texas Hill Country.
To ensure your pool enclosure is compliant and secure, we focus on the following requirements:
- Picket Spacing: To meet safety standards, vertical pickets must be spaced no more than four inches apart to prevent small children from passing through.
- Climb Resistance: We ensure that horizontal rails are kept to the pool side of the enclosure to eliminate potential footholds for climbing.
- Style Options: Our modern steel picket fence, Classic Spear Top, and Flat Top Modern styles can all be customized to meet these residential pool-code criteria. While Mesh Panel fencing is popular for commercial security, it typically requires specific modifications to meet residential pool safety standards.
Our family-owned team has over 20 years of experience navigating Hays County regulations. We use powder coated steel fencing that resists rust and corrosion from pool moisture and humidity, ensuring your safety barrier remains structurally sound for decades.
