![]() Installing a pool fence is an important safety measure that can help prevent accidents and ensure compliance with local safety regulations. Here are some things to consider when installing a pool fence:
Example At Milton Fence, we recently helped a local homeowner who was rushing to complete their backyard pool project ahead of summer without realizing the strict fencing requirements in Milton. They had already scheduled pool installation and were just days away from completion when they learned that Milton’s bylaw requires a minimum 1.5-metre (5-foot) tall fence with a self-closing, self-latching gate surrounding any pool—and that the fence must be in place before the pool can be filled with water. The homeowner also hadn’t applied for the required pool enclosure permit, which carries a fee of $170 (as per Town of Milton's 2024 fee schedule). Without the proper fencing, they risked a $500 fine per day and a significant delay in their project. Our team quickly assessed the site and recommended a pressure-treated wood fence solution that met the legal height requirement, incorporated the necessary locking gate mechanisms, and matched the style of the homeowner’s existing landscape. We fast-tracked the design and installation process, completing it within three days—just in time to stay on track with the pool contractor's schedule. We also assisted the homeowner in submitting the correct permit paperwork to the Town. As a result, the homeowner avoided costly penalties and project delays, while gaining peace of mind knowing their new pool is safe, secure, and fully bylaw-compliant. A pool fence installation is an important safety measure that can help prevent accidents and ensure compliance with local safety regulations.
