Q: How long do pool enclosures last?

• <div><p>Your pool enclosure&rsquo;s lifespan will depend on the type and materials, but on average, you can expect it to last <b>10 to 15 years</b>.

Q: Are you required to have a fence around a pool?

• <div><p>In most states, it is a legal requirement to have a fence around your pool. Laws vary by state and city, so check with your state and local government for regulations specific to you. Additionally, most homeowners' insurance providers will require some type of fence surrounding a residential pool before they provide coverage.</p></div>

Q: Can a retaining wall be a pool fence?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-retaining-wall.htm">retaining wall</a> can only function as a fence if it&rsquo;s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn&rsquo;t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall. </p></div>

Q: What is the safest pool fence material?

• <div><p>Mesh and tempered glass are both very safe pool fencing options because they&rsquo;re difficult to climb. You might also want to consider installing a pool safety net, and always make sure your pool is maintained properly. You could even consider a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-swimming-pool-enclosure.htm">swimming pool enclosure</a> that surrounds the pool on all sides.</p></div>
