Pool Safety & Compliance in Wilmington – No Compromises

North Carolina enforces critical pool safety regulations to help reduce child drownings and protect families statewide.
In Wilmington, where backyard pools are popular and the coastal climate brings high humidity, salt air, and frequent storms, these regulations are especially vital. Installing a pool safety fence in Wilmington ensures your property complies with North Carolina’s residential pool barrier requirements along with any additional codes enforced by New Hanover County and the City of Wilmington.

The result is a secure, code-compliant environment for children, pets, and guests—while maintaining the style, safety, and functionality of your outdoor 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 mesh pool safety fences in Wilmington are expertly engineered to meet North Carolina’s residential pool safety standards and fully comply with local codes enforced by the City of Wilmington and New Hanover County. Designed for durability and coastal conditions, our fences provide strong, low-profile protection built to handle Wilmington’s humid summers, salt air, and tropical storm seasons.

  • North Carolina Residential Pool Safety Guidelines – While there’s no single statewide pool fence law, most municipalities—including Wilmington—follow safety criteria based on the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC). These typically require a barrier at least 48 inches high, with no openings greater than 4 inches. Gates must swing away from the pool, self-close, and self-latch. Latch hardware must be at least 54 inches above ground or designed to prevent child access.
  • City of Wilmington & New Hanover County Requirements – Local building departments may also enforce additional protections, such as climb-resistant materials, alarms on access doors and windows, and dual safety layers when the home forms part of the pool barrier.
  • ASTM F2286-Compliant Mesh Fencing – Every Pool Guard™ installation in Wilmington meets ASTM F2286, the national standard for removable mesh pool barriers. Made from UV-stabilized mesh and rust-resistant aluminum, our fences are purpose-built for coastal North Carolina weather, delivering reliable safety, easy maintenance, and full compliance—all year long.
