Q: How long does it take to install a swimming pool fence?

The time it takes to install a swimming pool fence varies depending on the project's complexity. A simple installation can be completed in about two hours. However, if your project involves concrete work, regrading, custom installations, or challenging terrain, it could take up to two full days. Each additional factor increases the labor and time needed to ensure your fence meets safety standards.

Q: Do I need a lock on my pool gate?

Yes, installing a lock on your pool gate enhances safety by preventing unauthorized access. A self-closing, self-latching gate with a key-lock mechanism provides strong protection, helping to keep children and pets safe. Securing your pool gate adds an extra layer of security and offers peace of mind when using the pool area.

Q: How tall does a pool fence need to be?

A pool fence requires a specific height to secure the pool area. In most states, the fence must be 48 inches tall; some regulations require 60 inches for enhanced safety. Checking local building codes guarantees compliance with these height requirements. A taller fence strengthens protection and improves the overall security of your pool area, ensuring it meets stringent safety standards.

Q: What are the safest pool fencing materials?

Mesh and tempered glass are among the safest pool fencing choices because their design and smooth surfaces make them resistant to climbing attempts. They provide consistent, rigid barriers that prevent unauthorized access to your pool area. These materials ensure optimal safety for children and pets. In addition, incorporating a pool safety net further enhances protection and addresses additional security concerns, ensuring that your pool remains a safe environment for all users.

Q: What are the legal requirements for pool fencing?

Pool fencing requirements vary by local, state, and federal regulations. In most states, installing a pool fence is mandatory for safety and insurance purposes. Ask your pool fence pro for local regulations or check with your local planning department to understand the specific height and design requirements for your area. Complying with these regulations ensures legal compliance and enhances safety.

"Poor. Left mud and debris behind. Shouldnhave places plastic down. They tried to rake up dirt but did a poor job. I hired tim at unique fence assuming he knew all ordinances.

"If I could give zero stars, I would. We hired Mustang Fence through Angie’s List, and the entire experience has been a complete nightmare. They never finished the work, installed things incorrectly, and their communication was abysmal. Weeks would go by without a response. We called multiple times, set multiple appointments, and yet they showed up whenever they felt like it—completely ignoring scheduled times. They ripped out our old gate, left it on the property, and left holes in the wall unpatched. Screws were sticking out dangerously, and nothing felt secure. The keypad they installed never worked properly. The “0” button didn’t function, which left us locked out of our own property. For over a week, we couldn’t lock or close the gate, leaving our home exposed. Instead of fixing their defective installation, they tried to charge us an additional $750 for a worse replacement. On September 28, 2025, their manager Sam came onsite, saw firsthand that the keypad didn’t work, and admitted they weren’t “professionals” with that product. Yet he still tried to upcharge us $750 to downgrade to a basic lock. When we pressed him on why we should pay more for their own mistakes, his excuse was, “We wanted what the customer wanted.” That is not accountability. That is negligence. When asked politely to leave the property, Sam even stood in the gate to block entry. At one point, they installed a handle accessible only from the outside, leaving us forced to pry the gate open with our fingers from the inside, an outright hazard. For weeks, we waited for them to resolve these issues. Each time, they ignored scheduled appointments and came unannounced, at random times, with no respect for our time. Yes, the fence may look nice at first glance, but it is completely dysfunctional and unsafe. Mustang Fence is unprofessional, unreliable, and dishonest. They do shoddy work on their own terms, make excuses instead of taking responsibility, and treat paying customers with zero respect. This has been one of the worst contractor experiences of my life, and I strongly warn anyone: stay far away from Mustang Fence."
