Aluminum Pool Fences for Your Backyard
A pool is one of the best parts of owning a home, and a proper fence around it is what keeps that fun safe and legal. An aluminum pool fence gives you a barrier that meets safety code, keeps children and pets away from the water when no one is watching, and looks elegant doing it, all in a rust-proof metal that stands up to chlorine, splash, and Carolina humidity without ever needing repaint. Sunrise Fence designs and builds aluminum pool fences across Union County and the greater Charlotte area, built to pass inspection and to protect what matters most. Whether you are installing a new pool, replacing a barrier that no longer meets code, or enclosing an existing pool for the first time, we handle the whole job from first measurement to final self-latching gate.

Safety, Code Compliance, and Style Together
A pool fence is not just another yard fence. It is a safety barrier with real rules behind it, and getting those right is the whole point. An aluminum pool fence brings three things together: compliance with your local pool safety code, genuine protection for children and pets, and the elegant ornamental look that suits a backyard pool. Our work begins with an honest, itemized quote and a real visit to your property, and it starts with confirming the exact code requirements that apply to you, since they vary by town and county. We are licensed and insured, and homeowners choose us because we build pool enclosures that pass inspection the first time, with correct height, proper picket spacing, minimal bottom clearance, and self-closing, self-latching gates. Aluminum will not rust around all that water and chlorine, and its powder-coated finish holds its look for years. What you get is a pool barrier built to your property, your code, and your peace of mind, priced plainly, with nothing added later.
Aluminum Pool Fence Options We Build
Every pool enclosure has to meet code, and within that there is room to match the fence to your yard and your family:
- Code-Compliant Pool Enclosures: Built to your local barrier requirements for height, picket spacing, and clearance, the foundation of every pool fence we install.
- Self-Closing, Self-Latching Gates: Safety gates that swing shut and latch on their own, with the latch positioned per code so children cannot reach it.
- Puppy-Picket Panels: An added row of pickets near the bottom to close the gap and keep small pets and toddlers from slipping through.
- Flat-Top and Spear-Top Styles: Clean or decorative picket tops that keep the enclosure elegant while meeting climb-resistance guidelines.
- Rackable Panels for Sloped Decks: Panels that flex to follow uneven pool decks and grades so there are no gaps at the bottom.
- Color and Finish Options: Classic black plus bronze and other powder-coat finishes to match your home and hardscape.
We install quality-grade aluminum with a durable powder-coat finish, built to hold up to splash, sun, and pool chemicals. Because the code details are what make a pool fence legal and safe, we handle those precisely. Throughout the project you always know where things stand, from the opening measurement to the final walk, and because our trucks arrive stocked and ready, most pool enclosures come together in days.

Protecting Your Family for Years to Come
A quality aluminum pool fence is one of the most important investments you can make around a pool, adding safety, code compliance, and curb appeal all at once, and doing it with almost no upkeep. Getting it built right is what protects both your family and that value. A pool barrier is not the place to cut corners, because the whole purpose is keeping children and pets away from the water when no one is watching. The most common calls we get are from homeowners whose existing barrier no longer meets code, whose gate has stopped self-latching, or who bought a flimsy install that has started to lean and open gaps. We would rather build it once, correctly, with quality-grade aluminum, posts sunk below the frost line and firmly anchored, panels racked to follow the deck, and safety hardware set exactly to code. Upkeep is genuinely minimal: an occasional rinse keeps the finish looking new, and the one thing worth checking regularly is that the gate still closes and latches on its own, which we show you how to confirm. After every job we walk the finished fence with you, point out that gate check and the simple care it needs, and leave you a direct number to call if anything ever comes up. Built this way, an aluminum pool fence protects your family and meets code for many years while looking elegant the whole time.

What Customers Say
Aluminum Pool Fence Questions, Answered
What are the code requirements for a pool fence?
Pool barrier codes generally set a minimum fence height, a maximum gap between pickets so a small child cannot squeeze through, a small maximum clearance at the bottom, and a requirement that gates be self-closing and self-latching with the latch mounted out of a child’s reach. The exact numbers vary by town and county, so we confirm the specific code that applies to your address before we build and install to meet it, so your enclosure passes inspection.
Why is aluminum a good choice for a pool fence?
Because it does not rust. A pool fence lives in constant splash, chlorine, and sun, which would corrode iron and steel over time, but aluminum shrugs it off and its powder-coated finish holds its color. It also comes in the elegant ornamental styles that suit a backyard pool, and it can be built to meet every code requirement. Add in almost no maintenance and it is one of the most popular pool-fencing materials for good reason.
Do you install the self-closing, self-latching gate?
Yes, and it is one of the most important parts of the whole enclosure. Code requires pool gates to swing shut and latch on their own so they are never accidentally left open, with the latch positioned so children cannot reach it. We install and adjust that hardware so it works reliably every time, and we show you how to check it, since a gate that stops latching is the single most common pool-barrier failure.
Can you make the fence safe for small pets and toddlers?
Yes. Beyond the standard code spacing, we can add a puppy-picket panel, an extra row of pickets near the bottom, to close the lower gap so small pets and toddlers cannot slip under or through. Combined with a compliant gate and correct picket spacing, it makes the enclosure safe for the whole family, two-legged and four-legged.
How long does installation take, and do you remove my old fence?
Most residential pool enclosures go up in one to three days once materials are on site and utilities are marked, though larger or custom pool areas can take longer. We give you a realistic timeline in writing after seeing the property. If we are replacing an existing barrier, tear-out, cleanup, and responsible haul-away of the old fence are all included in the quote, with nothing extra at the end.
