Pool Safety & Compliance in San Rafael – No Compromises

California enforces some of the most comprehensive pool safety regulations in the country to help prevent accidental drownings—especially among children under six. In San Rafael, where residential pools are popular and the North Bay’s sunny weather, coastal influence, and family-oriented neighborhoods encourage outdoor living, these regulations are especially important. Installing a compliant pool safety fence in San Rafael ensures your property meets California Building Code (CBC) Section 3109, along with any additional safety requirements enforced by Marin County and the City of San Rafael—creating a secure, code-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 Rafael are expertly engineered to meet California’s residential pool safety laws and comply with local building codes enforced by Marin County and the City of San Rafael. Designed for long-term durability, our fences deliver strong, low-profile protection suited for San Rafael’s coastal North Bay climate—characterized by warm summers, marine air, and occasional fog.

  • 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 prevent the passage of a 4-inch sphere. Pool gates must swing away from the water, close automatically, and latch securely. Latch hardware must be installed a minimum of 60 inches above the ground to remain out of children’s reach.
  • San Rafael & Marin County pool barrier requirements – Local enforcement mirrors CBC standards and may also call for added safety features like non-climbable fencing materials, or alarm-equipped/self-closing doors and windows when the home forms part of the pool enclosure.
  • ASTM F2286-Compliant Fencing – Every Pool Guard™ mesh fence installed in San Rafael meets ASTM F2286, the national safety standard for removable mesh barriers. Constructed from UV-stabilized, rust-resistant, and climb-resistant materials, our fences are built to withstand San Rafael’s mix of sun, coastal moisture, and seasonal changes—providing full legal compliance and peace of mind all year long.
