Pool Safety & Compliance in Columbia SC – No Compromises

South Carolina enforces residential pool safety guidelines to help prevent child drownings and protect families across the state.
In Columbia—where backyard pools are a popular feature and long, humid summers encourage months of outdoor swimming—these safety requirements are especially critical. Installing a compliant pool safety fence in Columbia ensures your property meets residential pool barrier codes enforced by the City of Columbia and Richland County, creating a secure, code-compliant environment for children, pets, and guests—while enhancing the comfort, safety, and style 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 Columbia are engineered to meet South Carolina’s residential pool safety guidelines and comply with local building codes enforced by the City of Columbia and Richland County.

  • South Carolina Residential Pool Safety Guidelines – While South Carolina does not enforce a single statewide pool barrier law, many municipalities—including Columbia—follow 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 greater than 4 inches. Gates must swing outward from the pool, close automatically, and latch securely to help prevent unsupervised access.
  • City of Columbia & Richland County Pool Fence Requirements – Local building officials may also enforce added safety features such as self-closing gate hardware, latches mounted at a minimum of 54 inches above ground, non-climbable fence materials, and alarms on doors or windows that provide direct pool access if the home serves as part of the barrier.
  • ASTM F2286 Compliance – Every Pool Guard mesh pool fence installed in Columbia meets ASTM F2286—the national standard for removable mesh pool barriers. Designed for Columbia’s hot summers, frequent rain, and mild winters, our UV-stabilized, rust-resistant fences deliver durable, low-profile protection that ensures code compliance and peace of mind throughout the year.
