HOA & Community Pool Fences in Henderson

Community pools at HOAs, apartments, condos and clubhouses are usually not residential pools, and public pool barrier rules are stricter than the rules for a backyard pool. Ask the building department how your facility is classified.

Key differences for public pools

• Height: the Southern Nevada amendments set a 72-inch minimum barrier height for public pools and spas.
• Latches: for a latch released from outside the gate, the amendments put the release between 52 and 54 inches above the ground.
• Health District permits: the Southern Nevada Health District's Aquatic Health program permits and inspects public aquatic venues. Pools at single-family homes are exempt.

Requirements depend on the specific facility, so check with the building department and the Health District before you design.

What we can quote

• Replacement of aging fence sections and gates
• New self-closing gates, latches and access hardware
• Commercial-grade aluminum and glass barriers
• Repair after damage

1. Get two or three quotes with the same scope.
2. Ask each installer for their Nevada contractor license number and proof of insurance.
3. Plan work around the swim season.
