When it comes to your pool fence, you don’t want to sacrifice safety for style. Luckily, there are many different types of pool fencing available, so any aesthetic can be achieved while keeping the fencing within regulation and ensuring the safety of kids, pets, wildlife, and anyone else who comes around your pool.
Visibility Options
Metal
Metal fencing options such as aluminum, wrought iron, and steel are popular choices for those who want a classic, antique look and a durable, low-maintenance fence. These fencing options are also not too expensive, especially aluminum. Aluminum is rust-resistant, but all metal fences will be powder coated to protect them from rust and corrosion.
Glass
Glass pool fencing comes in frameless and semi-frameless styles. This might sound like an unsafe option, but the panels are made of thick safety glass that will withstand a lot of abuse, making them a great option for anyone going for that chic look. One of the great things about glass fencing is that it offers full visibility into the pool, so you can keep an eye out for kids and pets anytime they enjoy the pool without you.
Mesh
Mesh pool fencing is an excellent option because it’s relatively inexpensive and it can be easily tailored to your pool’s size and shape. This style of fencing is popular due to its simple aesthetic and superior security.
Privacy Options
Wood
Wood is a classic, and it’s always a good privacy option around your pool. One of the main considerations when dealing with a wood fence is water damage that leads to rot, and the maintenance required to keep the fence from degrading prematurely. On the other hand, these fences are highly attractive and can be painted or stained in any color you desire for the perfect look.
Vinyl
Vinyl fencing might be one of the best and most popular options for pool fencing currently. These fences can come in a variety of colors, are highly attractive, and they’re exceptionally sturdy. They are also low-maintenance, only needing to be sprayed down every so often to keep them looking their best.
Bamboo
Bamboo can create a very unique aura around your pool, which is why it has been growing in popularity in recent years. This is a material that is not too expensive and it will definitely be a conversation starter whenever people come over to enjoy your pool. For an Asian or tropical aesthetic, bamboo might be the right choice.
Stone, Brick & Concrete
For the ultimate privacy, stone, brick, and concrete pool fencing are great options. Concrete is the least expensive of these choices, but if you don’t want a naked concrete wall then the cost will even out once you decide on the materials and design for it. Stone can be done in natural stone, which will cost a bit more, or a stone veneer, which will be a little bit cheaper. Brick fencing looks amazing on the back of a brick house, making it look like the fence belongs there.
