★ All-Safe Certified Removable mesh pool safety fence set into a lawn beside an infinity-edge pool in the greater Austin area, All-Safe certified

Austin's pool season runs most of the year, so a backyard pool is a year-round responsibility. A removable mesh fence is the safest everyday layer between young children and the water: up day and night, climb-resistant, and taken down only when an adult chooses to.

Austin backyards are rarely simple. We install on limestone, travertine, flagstone and concrete decks, straight into lawns and grass, and around Hill Country slopes and infinity edges. Every post is set with the right method for the surface, using genuine All-Safe hardware built for Central Texas heat and hard water.

What we install

Removable Mesh
Pool Fencing

We do one thing, and we do it exceptionally well.

★ All-Safe Certified Removable mesh pool fence installation in Bee Cave TX, All-Safe certified

Serious pool safety you can see right through.

A see-through mesh barrier that stays up around your pool day and night. No cover to drag off, no net to check before the kids head outside. It's the safest everyday layer of protection for a backyard pool, and the only thing we install.

Choose your mesh, border, and pole colors in 4-foot or 5-foot heights, sized to any pool shape, deck, or slope. Once installed it stays taut and solid, anchored into the deck. A child can't budge it or climb through it, but an adult can lift a section out for a party or pool service and re-set it just as securely.

Choosing the right pool fence

Pool Fence Types,
Compared.

There are several kinds of pool fences on the market. Here's an honest comparison, and why most Austin families choose removable mesh.

Our specialty
Removable Mesh Pool Fencing

Best for: most Austin families with young kids or pets

  • Safe. ASTM F2286-compliant, self-closing/self-latching gates, tested to resist climbing and impact.
  • Removable by you, not by kids. Locked firm in the deck day to day; an adult can lift a section out for a party, pool service, or once the kids are grown, then re-set it just as securely.
  • Affordable. A fraction of the cost of wrought iron or glass, with professional installation, a safety gate, and a workmanship guarantee included.
  • Beautiful. Transparent mesh disappears against your landscape, with no obstructed view.
Wrought Iron / Aluminum

Best for: homeowners wanting a permanent decorative look

  • Permanent installation that can't be removed without major work.
  • Higher cost. Heavier on the eye and the budget.
  • Requires periodic rust treatment or repainting in Texas weather.
  • Often used as a perimeter yard fence rather than a dedicated pool barrier.
Glass Pool Fencing

Best for: high-end pool deck aesthetics

  • Premium look with near-invisible sightlines.
  • Significantly more expensive, often 4–6x the cost of mesh, with high-end installs running $30,000+.
  • Permanent. Fingerprints and water spots are constant, and Austin's hard, mineral-heavy water leaves especially visible deposits on glass. Cleaning is endless.
  • Heavy panels require structural deck mounting.
Wood / Vinyl / Chain Link

Best for: yard perimeter, not pool safety

  • Not designed as a child-safety pool barrier, and most don't meet ASTM F2286.
  • Wood weathers and warps in Austin sun. Vinyl can yellow.
  • Solid wood blocks visibility, so you can't see kids approaching the pool.
  • Better choice for privacy fencing than as a dedicated pool fence.

Not sure which is right for your home? We'll walk you through the trade-offs honestly during your free on-site consultation, even if removable mesh isn't the answer for you.

"This company is very good and really went above and beyond. They came out and looked at the project and made some great suggestions on the best look for the pool. Very reasonable price, was actually cheaper than what I thought it would be. Father and son team who own the business so a great experience and very happy."

"Mark and Ethan were great! They responded almost immediately to my request for a quote and were available to come out faster than I was. They were on time and gave a clear description of the plan and a quote that came under my anticipated budget. They were able to order materials and come back quickly to install the fence and the fence is beautiful! I am so happy with the work they did and would absolutely use them again or recommend to a friend!"

"The craftsmanship is absolutely exceptional. Every detail was completed with care and precision, and it's obvious they take tremendous pride in their work. Our pool fence is not only beautiful and built to last, but it has completely transformed our backyard. It exceeded every expectation we had. They didn't just build a fence; they created something that our family will enjoy and appreciate for many years to come."

"Great Barrier Pool Fencing did a fantastic job. They worked a 13+ hour day due to some tricky landscape issues around the pool, and the end result looks great. Most importantly, I know my kids will be safe. Great company, great guys. Definitely recommend."

Frequently Asked Questions

Pool Fencing in Austin, Answered

Local questions about Austin and Travis County code, cost, decks and installation. Don't see yours? Call or text (512) 827-6497.

Does the City of Austin require a pool fence?
Yes. The City of Austin and Travis County enforce the International Residential Code, which requires a barrier at least 48 inches tall around a residential swimming pool, with self-closing and self-latching gates. ASTM F2286-compliant removable mesh fencing satisfies these requirements in nearly every Austin-area jurisdiction, and many local HOAs and home insurers require it as well.
How much does a pool fence cost in Austin, TX?
Most Austin-area installs run between $2,500 and $4,500, depending on your pool's perimeter and how many gates you need. Every quote includes professional installation, a self-closing safety gate, and our workmanship guarantee, using top-of-the-line All-Safe certified hardware. We come out, measure, and give you a firm price with no surprises.
Can you install on a limestone, travertine or flagstone deck?
Yes. Hill Country and West Austin pools are often surrounded by limestone, travertine, flagstone or stamped concrete, and we core-drill all of them cleanly. Our deck sleeves sit nearly flush with the surface, so once a section is removed there's only a small, tidy cap left in the stone. Sloped decks and irregular pool shapes are routine for us.
Which Austin-area communities do you serve?
We serve the entire greater Austin metro, including Central and West Austin, Westlake, Bee Cave, Lakeway, Steiner Ranch, Barton Creek, Circle C, Onion Creek and South Austin, the north metro (Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Pflugerville), the Hill Country (Dripping Springs, Driftwood, Wimberley), and the southeast corridor (Buda, Kyle, Bastrop, San Marcos). Not listed? Call or text us and we'll confirm.
How quickly can you install in the Austin area?
We respond to quote requests within the hour and can usually schedule a free on-site measurement within a few days anywhere in the metro. Most residential installs are completed in a single day once materials are in, typically 3 to 6 hours depending on linear footage, terrain and gate count.
Will a mesh fence pass my Austin HOA requirements?
In nearly all cases, yes. Austin-area HOAs that require a pool barrier are looking for a code-compliant, self-latching fence, which is exactly what ASTM F2286 removable mesh provides. You choose mesh, border and pole colors to suit your yard, and the transparent mesh keeps sightlines open. If your HOA has a specific spec, bring it to your free consultation and we'll match it.
Is removable mesh as safe as a permanent iron or glass fence?
Yes. Installed to ASTM F2286, removable mesh is considered just as effective as permanent wrought iron or aluminum for preventing unsupervised access by young children, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends it as a key layer of pool protection. The mesh is climb-resistant and the gates self-close and self-latch. Permanent fences offer no added safety over properly installed mesh; they simply can't be taken down for a party or pool service.
Do you offer free quotes in Austin?
Always. We provide free on-site quotes for every Austin-area home. We measure your pool perimeter, walk through fence routing and gate placement with you, and give a firm written price the same day. Call or text (512) 827-6497 or use the form above to schedule.
