Pool Safety Fences in Plymouth

Swimming Pool Safety Fences for Plymouth-Area Families

A pool in the backyard brings real enjoyment, and a fence and gate system brings the peace of mind that makes that enjoyment sustainable. ASP - America's Swimming Pool Company of Plymouth installs swimming pool safety fences for Plymouth homeowners who want a barrier that keeps children and pets away from the water when no one is watching. Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death in young children, making pool perimeter protection one of the most meaningful safety investments a pool owner can make.

What sets our installation apart is context. Our technicians are certified by the National Swimming Pool Foundation and have understood pool environments since 2002. When we install a fence and gate system, we’re looking at the full picture, not just the perimeter.

How Pool Safety Fences Work

A pool safety fence is a vertical barrier designed to reduce unsupervised access to the pool area. We can adjust a pool fence to any shape to follow your yard’s natural layout, whether that’s a curved patio edge or an irregular property line. Standard fences are four to five feet tall and non-climbable, keeping toddlers and curious pets on the safe side of the barrier.

The gate is just as important as the fence itself. Our fence and gate systems include a self-latching mechanism that closes automatically, along with a lockable key gate for controlled adult access. These features add another layer of protection beyond a basic barrier.

Michigan Pool Fence Requirements Plymouth Owners Should Know

Michigan pool fence requirements are set at the local level, with most municipalities following the standards in the International Residential Code (IRC Appendix G). Under those widely adopted standards, pool barriers must reach a minimum height of 48 inches, with openings no larger than 4 inches. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching, and any door with direct access to the pool area must have an audible alarm, or the pool must have an approved powered safety cover in compliance with ASTM F1346.

In Plymouth, a fence permit is required for pool fence installations. The permit fee is $75 (a $60 permit fee plus a $15 plan review fee), processed through the Plymouth building department. If you’re in Novi, pools must comply with both the Michigan Residential Code and the 2015 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, with plans reviewed and approved by the City of Novi’s Community Development Department. Because local ordinances vary, confirm current requirements with your municipality before installation. Professional installation can help support code compliance from the start.

Why Plymouth Pool Owners Choose ASP - America's Swimming Pool Company of Plymouth

We’re a certified pool service company, not a fence-only contractor. Our technicians hold National Swimming Pool Foundation certification and pass thorough background checks before working in your yard. That credential matters for a fence installation because we understand how a barrier interacts with pool plumbing, equipment access, and deck layout.

Our free pool inspection gives you a clear starting point. Before recommending a fence and gate system, we assess your full pool environment so the solution fits your yard, your family, and your home’s layout. After installation, that same team handles your ongoing cleaning, repairs, and equipment needs, arriving on the same day each week, leaving the property clean, and checking that gates are securely closed when we go.
