Pool Fencing & Safety Gates
Florida law requires a barrier around every residential pool. We install code-compliant pool fences in vinyl, aluminum, and chain-link — with self-closing, self-latching safety gates.
Your Pool Needs a Safety Barrier
In Florida, a pool barrier isn't optional — it's the law. Florida Statute 515 requires every residential swimming pool to be enclosed by a barrier that meets specific height, spacing, and gate requirements. Beyond the legal requirement, a properly installed pool fence is one of the most important safety measures you can take to protect children and pets. Bobby's Fence & Gate installs pool safety fences throughout Tampa Bay that meet Florida pool code — and we'll walk you through exactly what's required for your property.

Aluminum pool fencing provides a clean, open look while meeting all Florida pool barrier requirements. Powder-coated for rust resistance, available in black, bronze, and white. Popular for properties where visibility into the pool area is preferred.

Code-Required
Self-Closing, Self-Latching Safety Gates
Every pool fence we install includes a properly configured safety gate. Florida code requires gates to be self-closing (returning to the closed position automatically), self-latching (locking without manual action), and opening outward away from the pool. The latch must be on the pool side and positioned so a child cannot reach it from outside. We install and adjust gates to meet these requirements on every job — no shortcuts.
