Many different styles of fencing qualify for the BOCA Pool Code.  You have your choice of aluminum, wood, chain link, or vinyl.  Be sure to verify your township's swimming pool fencing requirements before going forward with your fence project. They are designed to be climb-resistant, with no footholds or handholds for children to scale. The primary purpose of a pool code fence is to reduce the risk of accidental drowning and ensure compliance with local building codes and regulations related to pool safety.
