Pool Fences in Winchester & Greater Boston

Pool enclosures

Fencing that keeps your pool area secure

Pools need a barrier, and pool gates usually have to close and latch on their own. The rules vary by town, so it's worth checking first. Carmen can walk you through your options.

Aluminum is one of the most popular choices around pools. It's an open style, so you keep your view of the pool, and there's no rust and no painting. Vinyl is another popular pick around pools.

We build ornamental steel fences, too. We recently installed a black ornamental steel fence around the pool and patio at a new development in North Reading, plus chain link along the wooded back of the property.

Gates around your pool

We build walk gates and driveway gates that match your fence. Our North Reading pool fence has a black ornamental steel double gate on the patio.

Check the gate rules

Pool gates usually have to close and latch on their own. The rules vary by town, so it's worth checking with your building department first.

Matched to your fence

Match the gate to your fence style. Custom gates are available, so ask about your yard.

Gate care

Check latches and hinges each season and add a little lubricant if they stick.

Pool fence rules by town

Massachusetts has pool-barrier rules in the state building code, so confirm with your town's building department. A fence that works for a yard may not meet the rules around a pool, so ask about the pool-barrier rules before anything is ordered. Here is what each town's own pages say, in short.

Winchester: the Building Department reviews pool fencing, so call before you build.
Woburn: swimming pools require a building permit. Check barrier requirements with Inspectional Services before you build.
Stoneham: the zoning bylaw says in-ground and above-ground pools must be enclosed by a 6-foot fence with a self-locking gate, and the Building Department's FAQ says pool gates must be self-closing and self-latching. Confirm with the town before you build.
Reading: every pool needs Conservation approval (and Historic District approval where it applies), and plans for an in-ground pool must show the fence and alarm locations. The town also posts a Pool Barrier Requirements sheet. Ask Inspectional Services before you build.
North Reading: the town has its own pool and spa rules, and its fence FAQ may not cover a pool enclosure. Check with the Building Department before you build.
Medford: pools need a building permit and an electrical permit, and the city points to the state building code's pool section. Ask the Building Department about the barrier.
Burlington: the Building Department's fee schedule lists permits for above-ground and in-ground swimming pools. Check the fence or barrier with the Building Department before you build.
Arlington, Bedford, Belmont, Lexington and Lynnfield: we found no pool-fence rule on their pages. Ask the building department.

Each town name links to our page for that town. This is a plain-English summary, not legal advice. Rules change; the town has the final word. For fence permits and a link to each town's official page, see our town-by-town fence permit guide.
