Pool Safety & Compliance in San Mateo – No Compromises

California enforces some of the nation’s most rigorous pool safety standards to help prevent accidental drownings—especially among children under six.
In San Mateo, where residential pools are popular and the Bay Area’s mild coastal climate supports nearly year-round swimming, these safety measures are especially important. Installing a code-compliant pool safety fence in San Mateo helps ensure your property meets the requirements of California Building Code (CBC) Section 3109, along with any additional regulations enforced by San Mateo County and the City of San Mateo—creating a secure, legally compliant environment for children, pets, and guests.

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%.”

Pool Guard™ mesh pool safety fences in San Mateo are professionally engineered to meet California’s residential pool safety laws and comply fully with local building codes enforced by the City of San Mateo and San Mateo County. Built for long-term durability, our fences provide strong, discreet protection ideally suited to San Mateo’s coastal Peninsula climate—marked by mild temperatures, coastal fog, and year-round outdoor living.

  • California Building Code (CBC) Section 3109 – All residential pools must be enclosed by a barrier at least 60 inches tall. Fences must prevent a 4-inch sphere from passing through. Gates must swing away from the pool, close automatically, and latch securely. Latches must be mounted at least 60 inches from the ground to remain out of a child’s reach.

  • San Mateo & San Mateo County Pool Barrier Requirements – In addition to CBC mandates, local enforcement may require non-climbable fencing, self-closing or alarm-equipped doors and windows, and site-specific safety measures when the home forms part of the pool barrier.

  • ASTM F2286-Compliant Fencing – Every Pool Guard™ fence installed in San Mateo is built to ASTM F2286, the national standard for removable mesh pool fencing. Constructed with UV-stabilized, rust-resistant, and climb-resistant materials, our systems are designed to withstand San Mateo’s coastal moisture, salt air, and sun exposure—ensuring dependable, code-compliant protection all year long.
