Pool Fence Installation – Use a California Licensed Contractor

Need a pool fence?  New home?  New pool? Need to keep the kids safe, of course, but watching your budget?  Be aware of ‘who’ is installing the fence in your yard.  If the price sounds too good, check the license.  This is for your proctection.

Folsom Lake Fence Company has been offering and installing pool fencing in the Sacramento Valley area longer than anyone out in the field, and every year, our office gets calls asking to ‘fix’ an installation. Expert installation of removable pool fence is crucial!  KNOW who you have drilling into the cement around your pool.

Many can be a dealer for pool fence, but cannot install.  First, do they have a website?  If the website looks good, great, BUT, check to make sure there is a California State Contractor’s license number on that front page.  If there is no license on the front page, STOP!  The CSLB demands all contractors display their license number on all advertising.

 

Pool Fence meets the CA Barrier Code

Pool Fence by Folsom Lake Fence CompanyCalifornia, along with 4 other states, enacted  a barrier code (referred to as the CA Barrier Code) January 1, 2007.  Now, this Barrier Code is a GOOD code, as every year there is too many accidental drownings.  The code must be adhered to if you are building a new pool or resurfacing an existing pool, operating a day care facility, a requirement of adoptions and foster care facilities.  Additional, counties can impose county specific regulations.

Removable pool fencing, aka Pool Guard pool fence, can be used to meet the CA Barrier Code.  The removable pool fencing must meet the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Specifications F2286 and be installed with a self-closing and self-latching gate with a key lock.

Also, the code has installation requirements.  Code requires the fence height  be 5′ (60 inches).  The gate must open outwards and there can be ‘no more’ than a 4″ gap in the perimeter of the fencing.
