Common Pool Fence Questions
Answers to your questions about bylaws, permits, and installation.
What are the pool fence code requirements in Toronto?
In Toronto (and most of Ontario), pool fences must be at least 1.2 meters (48 inches) high, have no horizontal bars that make it climbable (non-climbable zone), and gates must be self-closing and self-latching. The gap between the bottom of the fence and the ground cannot exceed 100mm (4 inches).
Do I need a permit for a pool fence?
Yes, a Pool Enclosure Permit is required in Toronto and most GTA municipalities before you can fill your pool with water. We can assist you in ensuring your fence design meets all permit requirements.
Is glass or aluminum better for pool fencing?
Both are excellent choices. Aluminum is more cost-effective and very durable. Glass offers a premium look with unobstructed views, which is safer for monitoring swimmers. Both of our systems are engineered to meet strict safety codes.
How much does a pool fence cost in Toronto?
Standard aluminum pool fencing typically costs between $70 and $110 per linear foot installed. Frameless glass pool fencing ranges from $140 to $220+ per linear foot. Costs vary based on gates, terrain, and total linear footage.
Can I lock my pool gate?
Yes. All our pool gates come with high-quality, magnetic safety latches (like MagnaLatch) that are key-lockable. They are positioned high out of reach of children to prevent unsupervised access.
