A pool fence has one job that matters more than how it looks: keeping children out of the water when nobody is watching. Pool barrier codes set the height, the gaps, the climbability and the gate hardware, and inspectors check every one of them.
Expert Fence builds pool enclosures for homeowners, HOAs and community pools across the DMV. We specify the fence to the barrier code in your jurisdiction, provide the documentation your inspector asks for, and install self-closing, self-latching gates that actually close every time.
Every option is priced on the same written estimate, so you can compare real numbers for your property.
Ornamental aluminum keeps the pool visible from the house while meeting barrier code. It will not rust around pool water.
Where privacy matters more than visibility, vinyl or wood can be built to a pool-code specification.
Commercial-grade ornamental sections and gate hardware for clubhouses and community pools.
The crew that quotes your project is the crew that builds it. Installation is never subcontracted.
We measure the pool area and check the barrier requirements in your jurisdiction.

We pull the fence permit and coordinate timing with your pool build.
Posts, panels and gates installed; every gate tested to close and latch on its own.
We hand over the documentation the inspector will ask for and walk the enclosure with you.
Pool barrier rules are set locally, so requirements differ between Fairfax, Arlington, Loudoun and Prince William counties, the City of Alexandria, Montgomery and Prince George's counties and Washington DC. We build pool fences in all of them and check the current rules for your address before we quote.

Most codes in our area require a minimum barrier height of around 4 ft, with limits on gaps and footholds. The exact numbers depend on your jurisdiction and the code edition it has adopted, which is why we check them for your address before quoting.
Typically the gate must be self-closing and self-latching, open outward away from the pool, and have its latch release out of a small child's reach. We install hardware that meets those requirements and test it at the walkthrough.
Sometimes, if it meets the barrier requirements. Often gates, gaps or height need to be corrected. We can assess it during the estimate.
Yes. We coordinate timing with your pool contractor so the barrier is in place for inspection.
