Overview
Fences & Firepits installs aluminum pool fences for Charlotte-area homeowners. Pool fencing keeps the water visible while creating a barrier around it, with gates that can be fitted with self-closing, self-latching hardware. Your local building inspector sets the barrier requirements for your pool; we plan the layout around them.

Styles & options
Pool Fencing options we install
Aluminum pool fencing
Open-view aluminum panels in black.
Decorative pool fencing
Spear-top or three-rail designs for a more ornamental pool area.
Pool fence gates
Walk gates sized and hung to swing and latch reliably, with self-closing hardware options.
Custom pool layouts

Plan for the inspection
Pool barrier rules — minimum height, gaps, gate direction and latch height — are set by the North Carolina building code as adopted locally and by your HOA. Talk to your permit office or pool builder early; we will build to the requirements you confirm.
Why aluminum for pools
Aluminum will not rust from splashing water and pool chemicals the way steel can, and the open design lets you see the pool from the house.
Materials we install
Every project is built in one of the four fence materials we install. Each one has its own page with styles, heights and colors.
Permits, HOA rules and utilities
Under our Terms & Conditions, permits required by municipalities or counties are handled by Fences & Firepits. HOA approval is the homeowner's responsibility, and we help you prepare the details for your application. Utility locates are requested before posts are set. Private lines such as irrigation, invisible pet fences and low-voltage lighting are not marked by 811, so please tell us about them.
Backed in writing
Installations include a 2-year limited workmanship warranty covering defects in installation workmanship, such as improperly set posts or structural instability caused by installation error. Materials are covered by their manufacturers' warranties. See our Warranty page for the full terms and exclusions.
