Fences
Internal pool fences
An inner fence between the house and the pool is common in Gilbert. It has its own permit rule.
This is an independent referral guide. It connects homeowners with independent providers and may receive compensation. It is not a licensed contractor and it does not do the work.
Permits
Gilbert's policy says internal fences over 3 feet need building permits and inspections.
Climbable items
The policy says raised planters, decks, water features, and other easily climbable amenities should not be closer than 3 feet to a pool fence.
