Pool fence blocking your view?

What type of pool fence won’t block my view?

If you love the view beyond your pool and don’t want to block the view, consider a vertical cable railing pool fence. Cable railings around pools keep the view open beyond your pool. Most local building codes state that pickets on pool fences need to be vertical. Vertical cable railings can meet these requirements while preserving your view beyond your pool. Horizontal cable fence around pools can also be used as long as they are on top of a 48-inch-high elevated surface. Cables are thin compared to larger wood or metal pickets. The wire cables around your pool will seem to disappear and allow you to enjoy the view, whether it’s the sunset at your beach house, a sweeping mountain vista, or a backyard oasis.

Since we manufacture and ship our railings all over the country, our work can be found everywhere. With that being said, there are certain areas in particular where cable railings are more popular than other areas.
