— Local codes. Every jurisdiction.
We pull permits in your city every week.
Setback distances, latch heights, self-closing requirements—your jurisdiction's barrier code is not generic, and neither is our installation. We know the specifics because we work them daily.
Non-compliance isn't just a fine.
A barrier that fails code can void your homeowner's insurance and expose you to legal liability if a child reaches the water. The fence is a legal shield—not an optional upgrade.
We engineer every installation to the current adopted standard in your county. Code-compliant by default, documented on every job.
Three steps. Zero shortcuts.
01 — Pull the Permit
02 — Install to Code
03 — Document Everything
We file with your local building department before a single post is set. We know your jurisdiction's submittal requirements and handle all paperwork on your behalf.
Every post depth, latch height, and gate swing is measured against the adopted standard—not estimated. Inspectors who check our work rarely need a return visit.
You receive the signed permit, inspector notes, and a written compliance checklist. Keep it with your home records—it's your legal evidence the barrier is code-compliant.
What homeowners ask us first.
Does my city require a permit for a pool fence?
My existing fence was installed years ago—is it still compliant?
Most jurisdictions do. Requirements vary by municipality and pool type. We verify your specific permit obligation before the job starts—never assume and never skip that step.
Codes are updated on adoption cycles. An older fence may not meet current self-closing gate or latch-height standards. We offer a compliance assessment before you face an inspection notice.
What latch height does code require?
What documentation will I have after installation?
The IRC sets a 54-inch minimum for exterior-side latches, but many counties adopt stricter local amendments. We install to whichever standard is highest—your jurisdiction's or the IRC.
You receive the signed building permit, the inspector's written sign-off, and a compliance checklist keyed to your jurisdiction's adopted standard. Every job, every time.
