Pool fencing Richmond Hill, ON
If you're planning on installing a swimming pool on your property, or have already done so, it's crucial to look into installing a pool fence for safety and security reasons. The city's by-laws have a few requirements for pool enclosures. If your pool is a minumum of 24 inches deep, regardless of whether it's an inground or above ground pool, it will require fencing.
Before beginning any work, you must obtain a permit with the City and submit your fencing plans to the appropriate department for approval. If you need help with this, our fencing contractor experts at Richmond Hill Fence can assist and guide you along the process. A frequently asked question we get is: what type of fence is best for a pool fence? This is an interesting question we often get, as there are many variables that come into play here, none of which are related to a fence's ability to enclose a pool. You'll be considering other factors such as budget, privacy, durability and the like. Therefore, the simple answer to the question is: any material of fencing will work for your pool enclosure, as long as it abides by the City's by-laws, and that includes things like minimum distance between the pool and fence and height. Pool enclosures can be installed in wood (including pressure treated fencing and cedar fences), vinyl fencing, composite fencing, chain link fencing or metal fencing. |

Another question we often get is: what's involved in getting a permit for a pool?
In the city of Richmond Hill, you'll have to obtain both a Site Alteration and Pool Enclosure Permit for all underground pools and most permanent above ground pools.
Do you need a permit for hot tubs?
A permit is not required for hot tubs or temporary above ground pools, as long as there no changes to the grading or drainage of the property as a result of the installation. If the property backs into an open space, wetlands or the like, a special permit obtained from the TRCA (or Toronto Regional Conservation Authority) may be needed.
