- Material — ornamental iron (permanent) vs. mesh (removable, budget-friendly)
- Total perimeter length and number of gates
- Whether you're building a full new enclosure or filling gaps in an existing wall/fence line
Code Compliance Isn't Optional
Beyond cost, a pool barrier has to meet Arizona code requirements — height, self-closing/self-latching gates, and no climbable features. See our Arizona pool fence code guide for the full requirements, and confirm current specifics with your city before installation.
