Pool Safety & Compliance in Charleston – No Compromises

South Carolina enforces pool safety guidelines to help prevent child drownings and protect families statewide.
In Charleston—where backyard pools are popular and the coastal climate brings long, humid summers—these safety requirements are especially important. Installing a compliant pool safety fence in Charleston ensures your property meets residential pool barrier codes enforced by Charleston County, creating a secure, code-compliant environment for children, pets, and guests—while enhancing the charm of your outdoor living space.

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 safety fences in Charleston are built to meet South Carolina’s residential pool safety guidelines and comply with local building codes enforced by the City of Charleston and Charleston County.

  • South Carolina Residential Pool Safety Guidelines – While South Carolina does not have a single statewide pool barrier law, many municipalities—including Charleston—enforce safety standards based on the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC). These typically require residential pools to be enclosed by a fence at least 48 inches tall, with no openings wider than 4 inches. Gates must swing outward from the pool, close automatically, and latch securely to help prevent unsupervised access.
  • City of Charleston & Charleston County Pool Fence Requirements – Local building departments may require additional safety features such as self-closing mechanisms, latch hardware installed at least 54 inches above ground, climb-resistant fence materials, and alarms on doors or windows that provide direct pool access when the home serves as part of the barrier.
  • ASTM F2286 Compliance – Every Pool Guard mesh pool fence installed in Charleston meets ASTM F2286—the national standard for removable mesh pool barriers. Designed for Charleston’s warm, humid coastal climate, our fences deliver durable, rust-resistant protection that complies with code and blends seamlessly with your outdoor space.
