Do I need a fence around my pool?

• <div><p>Each state has its own regulations about pool fences, and laws to protect both swimmers and pool owners. Before installing a pool, you’ll need to research what the pool laws in your state, city, and county are to ensure that you’re adhering to the legal regulations. Inground pools typically need to have a fence around the entirety of them, but the rules regarding above-ground pools are less stringent. A good rule of thumb is to always have a fence around your pool to ensure safety for all. </p></div>

Can you build a pool yourself?

• <div><p>Building an inground pool is a job best left to the pros. Excavating the area and building the pool requires heavy equipment and specialized training, and pools have complex plumbing and electrical systems. Unless you’re experienced in these areas, you’re better off <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-pool-contractor.htm">hiring a pool contractor</a> to make sure the job gets done safely and correctly. </p></div>

Do you need a fence around a plunge pool?

• <div><p>Check with your local laws, which might state that you have to build a fence around your plunge pool. If you have children or pets or live in an area with abundant wildlife, you should consider <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-a-fence.htm">building a fence</a> around your pool for safety. Pools can present a drowning hazard, and while plunge pools are not very deep, younger children can get hurt if they try to dive into them. A fence can help protect your family and visitors from injury.</p></div>
