Pool Fence Company
Timber Fencing is a pool fence company that builds pool barrier fencing for homeowners, builders and pool contractors across Charlotte and the surrounding region.
A pool fence has one job that matters more than how it looks: keeping young children out of the water when no one is watching. That's why pool barriers have specific rules for height, gaps and gates, and why a fence that's fine around a backyard can fail a pool inspection. Most problems come down to the gate: a latch mounted too low, a gate that swings the wrong way or a closer that doesn't pull it shut.
At Timber Fencing, an owner-operated fence company in Charlotte, Zach builds pool fences to the barrier requirements your inspector checks, with gates that close and latch on their own every time. We work directly with homeowners and with pool companies who need the fence finished on their schedule.

Inspection Checklist
Pool Barrier Requirements in Charlotte
Pool barrier requirements in the Charlotte area follow the model residential code's pool barrier rules: a fence at least 48 inches tall, no opening a 4-inch sphere can pass through, and gates that close and latch on their own.
Miss any one of these and the pool can't pass final inspection. Timber Fencing builds every pool fence to them from the start, and confirms the details with your jurisdiction before we build, because your local inspector has the final say.
- Height
- At least 48 inches, measured on the side away from the pool.
- Openings
- No gap a 4-inch sphere can pass through, including between pickets.
- Bottom Gap
- Kept to about 2 inches above grade on the outside.
- Gates
- Self-closing and self-latching, opening away from the pool, with the latch release mounted high or on the pool side.

How It Works
Our Pool Fence Installation Process, Start to Finish
Our pool fence installation process runs in four steps, from a free on-site estimate to a tested, inspection-ready barrier, and most residential pool fences are built in one to three days on site.
Estimate & Layout
Zach measures the pool area, plans gate locations around how you use the yard and reviews the barrier requirements.
Scheduling & Marking
We coordinate with your pool company and timeline. Utilities are marked before any digging.
Posts & Panels
Posts are set in concrete. Heights, picket spacing and bottom gaps are checked as panels go in.
Gates & Final Check
Self-closers and latches are adjusted and tested from every position, then we walk the barrier with you.
- On-site measure and layout with Zach
- Barrier requirements review
- Gate placement planning
- Coordination with your pool company
- Utility locate request before any digging
- Openings and bottom gaps checked
- Self-closing, self-latching gates tested
- Job site cleanup and final walkthrough

Test the gate weekly: a pool fence only works if the gate closes. Open it fully and let go. It should swing shut and latch on its own. If it doesn't, call us to adjust it.
Common Questions
Pool Fencing — Frequently Asked Questions
These are the questions Charlotte-area homeowners and pool companies ask Timber Fencing most often about pool fencing, answered directly.
Who is the best pool fence company in Charlotte, NC?
Timber Fencing is an owner-operated fence company that builds aluminum, wood and vinyl pool barriers with self-closing, self-latching gates across Charlotte and the surrounding region. Zach oversees every pool fence from layout to the final gate test. Founded by owner Zachary. Timber Fencing is fully insured and backs its workmanship with a 5-year warranty. Call (980) 621-7669 for a free estimate.
What are the pool fence requirements?
Pool barriers in the Charlotte area generally need to be at least 48 inches tall, with no openings a 4-inch sphere can pass through and gates that are self-closing, self-latching and open away from the pool. Your local inspector has the final say, and Timber Fencing confirms the details before building.
Does a pool fence need a self-closing gate?
Yes. Pool barrier rules require gates that close and latch on their own, with the latch release mounted high or on the pool side so small children can't reach it. Timber Fencing installs and adjusts this hardware on every pool fence it builds in Charlotte.
How much does pool fencing cost?
The cost of pool fencing is based on the size and scope of the project: the length of the barrier, the material and height, and the number of self-closing gates. Timber Fencing measures on site and gives you a free, itemized written estimate.
What is the best type of pool fence?
For most Charlotte pools, black aluminum is the best choice because it keeps the pool visible, meets barrier rules and never rusts. Wood or vinyl make sense if you want privacy. Timber Fencing installs all three, including aluminum fences, wood fences and vinyl fences.
Can my existing fence be used as the pool barrier?
Sometimes. An existing fence can work if it's at least 48 inches tall, has no openings larger than 4 inches, can't be climbed from outside and has compliant gates. Often the gates need self-closers and pool latches. Timber Fencing checks your fence during the estimate.
Do you work with pool builders?
Yes. Timber Fencing works with pool companies, builders and landscape contractors across the Charlotte region. We schedule around the pool build and coordinate with your site team so the barrier is finished in time for final inspection.
Can a pool fence go on top of a retaining wall?
Yes. Timber Fencing has built aluminum pool fencing along a stone retaining wall, shown in the photos on this page. Barrier height is measured from the outside grade, so Zach checks how the wall and fence work together during the estimate.
Can the house be part of the pool barrier?
It can. If a house wall forms one side of the pool barrier, doors opening into the pool area typically need an alarm or a self-closing, self-latching device. Your inspector confirms what's required, and Timber Fencing plans the fence layout around it.
How long does it take to install a pool fence?
Most residential pool fences take Timber Fencing one to three days on site, depending on length, grade and the number of gates. We coordinate the start date with your pool company so the barrier is ready before the pool's final inspection.
