How to Choose the Right Fence for Pool Safety

Looking for a reliable way to secure your pool area? Among the available options, pool fences and gates are some of the most effective solutions—provided you choose quality products. At Clôture Discount, you'll find a range of high-quality models at competitive prices to meet your needs.

Installing a fence or an affordable pool gate not only adds a decorative touch to your pool area but also gives you peace of mind when children are playing in the yard. A proper barrier helps prevent accidental falls or drowning, and it also keeps pets from accessing the pool.

Materials Used for Pool Gates

We offer both solid and open-style barriers. For solid options, glass is a popular choice thanks to its modern look and ability to blend with the landscape. Glass pool gates are also practical, allowing you to keep an eye on the water at all times. PVC is another option—it's more affordable and highly durable, though less transparent than glass. For open-style fencing, wrought iron is a classic pick. It’s available in various colors, stands up well to the elements, but does require rust protection over time.

Pool Fence Safety Standards

To ensure your pool fence or gate meets safety requirements, it must comply with the NF P 90-306 standard, which includes:

  • A minimum height of 1.20m (about 47 inches)
  • A gap of no more than 25mm (about 1 inch) between the bottom of the fence and the ground, to prevent children or pets from slipping underneath
  • If using bars, the space between them must not exceed 102mm (about 4 inches), so children can't squeeze through
  • Two distinct locking mechanisms—such as a handle, latch, lock, or cylinder—to make it difficult for children to open
  • The ability to withstand an impact of at least 50kg (about 110 lbs)
  • A smooth finish to reduce the risk of injury
  • At least 1m (about 39 inches) of clearance between the pool edge and the fence, and at least 1.1m (about 43 inches) between the fence and any nearby structure
