Cable Railing Pool Fencing projects have recently become a more common design element to compliment exterior remodeling projects. As the desire for a minimalistic style gains popularity, stainless cable for pool fencing provides a transparent barrier that is much more attractive than wooden or composite pickets. Pickets and picket fencing have become dated and technology has rapidly improved fencing and railing systems. We have more choices today, and we have superior choices for durability and maintenance. Stainless steel cable fencing has become a staple in the construction and remodeling industries, but when it comes to pools does it satisfy barrier standards?
The answer to this question is most commonly YES! At San Diego Cable Railings we have provided both product and preferred contractor installations for cable railings as pool fencing. Most of our experience has come from Californian municipalities and customers must ALWAYS check local codes and building departments prior to installing cable railing pool fencing. Despite stringent standards in previous years, most cities have adapted to the popularity of cable railings and fences and our customers are having great success with cable fencing packages.
Pool fencing standards differ from railings in several ways but the main difference is height. Pool barriers are commonly 48″-60″ and will require more cables and possibly sturdier framing than a standard 36″ or 42″ cable railing system. Cable fences require 3″ cable spacing to avoid a 4″ spread which causes the need for more cables as the fence gets taller. Additionally pool fencing projects usually require self closing gates and a continuous perimeter either around the pool or the entire yard. At San Diego Cable Railings we provide customized cable fencing packages and stainless steel cable gates for pool projects. Pools are a beautiful addition to any landscape and a large investment that should be enjoyed and unobstructed. Poolside decks are another great place to utilize cable railing systems.
