“According to National Institutes of Health, Drowning is the 2nd or 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury deaths among children under 15 in industrialized countries, with children under 5 facing the highest risk. In the U.S., the drowning rate for children under 5 is 3.9 per 100,000. Installing pool fencing reduces the risk of drowning by approximately 73%.”

California Building Code (CBC) Section 3109 – State law requires that all residential swimming pools be enclosed by a barrier that is at least 60 inches tall. The barrier must not allow the passage of a 4-inch sphere, and all gates must swing away from the pool, close automatically, and latch securely. Latch mechanisms must be mounted at least 60 inches above ground to stay out of reach of small children.
Berkeley pool barrier requirements – Local enforcement mirrors CBC standards and may also include additional safeguards such as non-climbable fencing materials and self-closing or alarm-equipped doors and windows when the residence serves as part of the pool enclosure.
ASTM F2286 standards – Every Pool Guard™ mesh pool fence installed in Berkeley is constructed to meet ASTM F2286, the national safety standard for removable mesh pool fencing. Our fences are climb-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and built to perform reliably in Berkeley’s mix of ocean air, sun, and urban weather conditions—ensuring full legal compliance and lasting peace of mind.
