Pool Safety & Compliance in Richmond – No Compromises

Virginia enforces key residential pool safety standards to help prevent accidental drownings—especially among children under six.
In Richmond, where backyard pools are common during the region’s long, humid summers, these safety measures play a vital role in protecting families. Installing a code-compliant pool safety fence in Richmond ensures your property meets the requirements of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC) Section AG105, along with any additional regulations enforced by the City of Richmond and surrounding counties – 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 Richmond are professionally engineered to meet Virginia’s residential pool safety standards and fully comply with local building codes enforced by the City of Richmond and surrounding counties. Built for long-term durability, our fences deliver strong, low-profile protection that’s perfectly suited for Richmond’s climate—featuring hot, humid summers, seasonal rain, and mild to chilly winters.

  • Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC) Section AG105 – All residential pools must be enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches tall. Fence openings must be small enough to prevent a 4-inch sphere from passing through. Gates must swing outward from the pool, close automatically, and latch securely. Latch hardware must be mounted at least 54 inches above ground or be otherwise designed to prevent child access.
  • City of Richmond & Regional Code Requirements – Local enforcement aligns with USBC and may also require self-closing gates, door/window alarms when the home forms part of the barrier, and climb-resistant fencing materials to maximize safety.
  • ASTM F2286-Compliant Fencing – Every Pool Guard™ mesh fence installed in Richmond meets ASTM F2286, the national standard for removable mesh pool barriers. Made from rust-resistant, UV-stabilized, and climb-resistant materials, our fences are engineered to perform year-round—delivering reliable, code-compliant safety in all weather conditions.
