Start with the permit and enclosure requirements
The City of Ottawa requires a pool enclosure permit and inspection. The selected fence, gates and surrounding conditions need to meet the current Pool Enclosure By-law; a fence that looks suitable is not automatically an approved pool enclosure.
Tell us at the first estimate stage that the project involves a pool. We review the proposed system and visible site conditions, while permit approval and final compliance remain subject to the City’s process and inspection.
- Fence height and openings
- Gate swing, closing and latching
- Grade and climbable objects nearby
- Connections to buildings and existing barriers
