Pool Safety 101 – Why Metal Pool Fences Are a Must in Florida

With year-round sunshine, Tampa Bay homeowners often have swimming pools. But pools also come with responsibility. Florida law requires pool barriers, and metal fencing is one of the safest, most durable, and stylish options. At Carver S Welding, we design, weld, and install pool fences that combine compliance with elegance.


1. Safety Comes First

Drowning prevention is the #1 reason to install a pool fence. Welded metal fences with narrow pickets and self-closing gates create a strong barrier that protects children and pets.


2. Florida Code Compliance

State law mandates pool barriers be at least 4 feet high, with self-latching gates and no gaps wider than 4 inches. Our fences exceed these requirements, ensuring peace of mind during inspections.


3. Built for Tampa Bay’s Climate

We use:

  • Aluminum (rust-proof and perfect for chlorine-heavy environments).

  • Stainless steel for long-lasting marine-grade durability.

  • Powder coating to add years of life and color retention.


4. Aesthetic Options

Unlike bulky privacy fences, slim metal pickets keep your pool visible while adding modern or ornamental style.


5. Boosting Property Value

Buyers love knowing the home already meets code and has a safe, attractive pool fence.


Final Takeaway

A pool fence isn’t just a regulation—it’s a lifesaving necessity. Carver S Welding ensures Tampa Bay homeowners meet legal requirements while enjoying long-lasting style.
