“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 all residential swimming pools to be enclosed by a barrier at least 60 inches tall. The barrier must not allow the passage of a 4-inch sphere, and gates must swing outward, close automatically, and latch securely. Latch hardware must be installed at a minimum of 60 inches above ground level to stay out of reach of small children.
Oakland & Alameda County pool barrier requirements – Local enforcement follows CBC standards and may include additional safeguards such as climb-resistant fence designs and self-closing or alarm-equipped doors and windows when the home forms part of the pool enclosure.
ASTM F2286 standards – Every Pool Guard™ mesh pool fence installed in Oakland meets ASTM F2286, the national safety standard for removable mesh pool fencing. Our fences are built to be climb-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and capable of withstanding the region’s moisture-rich, sun-exposed conditions—ensuring full legal compliance and lasting peace of mind.
