Fulshear vs Stafford

Can I use chain-link fence as a Fulshear pool barrier?

Chain link is generally treated as climbable and is discouraged. The barrier must be non-climbable, so most homeowners use solid wood, ornamental metal, or masonry fencing that meets opening size limits.

Does the house wall count as part of the barrier?

Yes, an exterior wall of the home can serve as one side of the required barrier provided doors leading to the pool area have approved alarms or self-closing devices as required by the adopted pool and spa code.

Can my house wall serve as one side of the pool fence?
