Pool Enclosures Built Strictly to Code for New Canaan Yards
Aluminum, iron, wood, vinyl, chain link or cedar post and rail pool enclosures, including aluminum enclosures with a pergola, built to the pool code every time.
Chapter 01
Built strictly to the pool code, not just near it
Every pool enclosure we build follows the pool code that New Canaan's building department sets, not a general idea of what a pool fence should look like. Height, gate swing, and how the enclosure meets the ground are set by the town, and the enclosure gets built to match.
That's a different job than a privacy fence around the rest of the yard. A pool enclosure has one purpose, which is keeping the pool contained, and every material and hardware choice gets weighed against that first.

Aluminum, iron, wood, vinyl, chain link, or cedar post and rail
We build pool enclosures in aluminum, iron, wood, vinyl, chain link, and cedar post and rail, along with aluminum enclosures paired with a pergola for a yard that wants shade built into the same structure. The material choice usually comes down to what's already around the pool: a stone patio, a wood deck, a fence line the rest of the property already has.
Aluminum tends to be the material most homeowners land on for a pool enclosure specifically, because it holds up against pool chemicals and weather without the upkeep that wood or iron eventually need, but it isn't the only right answer for every yard.
Chapter 03
A gate that closes on its own
A pool gate has to close and latch itself every time, without anyone remembering to do it by hand. That means the hinge and latch hardware, and where the gate sits relative to the pool, matter as much as the fence panels around the rest of the enclosure. We set the hardware and the swing so the gate does its job automatically, in plain terms, without relying on a homeowner to check it every time.
Where exactly a gate can swing, and what hardware the code requires, is set by the town rather than by us, so that's confirmed with New Canaan's building department as part of planning the enclosure, not guessed at.
Help with the permit before anything goes in the ground
Scott Ryan told us that help with the permitting process was one of the reasons he hired us for his fence project, and a pool enclosure is exactly the kind of job where that matters most: it's the one piece of fencing a town inspector will actually come out and check.
Every town in Fairfield County handles pool permitting a little differently. A call to (203) 972-0280 before the design gets finalized means the enclosure gets built once, to what the town actually asks for, instead of getting flagged after the fact.
