AUSTIN, TX – August 07, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Fence Craft, a family-owned fencing company serving eight counties across Eastern North Carolina, is pointing homeowners to aluminum ornamental fencing as a barrier option for enclosing a backyard pool. The material’s rigid metal construction and gates that latch on their own give many homeowners the setup they need to meet local pool-safety requirements.
Homeowners across Nash, Wilson, and Johnston counties who add a pool often find that a perimeter fence is the next step. Local safety rules generally call for a barrier of sufficient height around the water, along with a gate that closes and latches without being pushed, so a small child cannot wander through to the pool on their own. Aluminum ornamental fencing fits that use because its vertical pickets, the evenly spaced metal bars that form the face of the fence, are rigid and hard to climb, and the open design still lets a parent watch the water from the house.
Picking the right material for a pool area comes with trade-offs. Chain-link satisfies a barrier requirement but does little for the look of a finished backyard. Wood blocks the view of the water and tends to warp and rot where it stays wet. Aluminum sits between the two, holding a clean line without hiding the pool, which is why it shows up around so many backyard pools across the area.
Fence Craft installs aluminum fencing in several profiles, including flat top, spear top, and curved top, along with decorative finials, the ornamental caps that finish the top of each picket. The company works with manufacturers such as Jerith and Digger Specialties, whose panels carry a factory powder coating, a baked-on paint finish that resists the chipping and rust that plagued older wrought-iron fences. For a pool setting, that finish matters, since the fence sits in constant sun and repeated splashing.
Eastern North Carolina’s humidity and sandy, often saturated soil shape how the company installs a pool barrier. Fence Craft sets posts deep and specifies corrosion-resistant hinges and latches, hardware built to hold up in damp coastal-plain air rather than seize or streak after a season. Owner Roy Garner has worked in fencing since 1987, and the company is a member of the American Fence Association, a national trade group. Fence Craft backs its installations with a 12-month craftsmanship guarantee covering workmanship.
Gate placement is where a pool fence succeeds or fails, according to the company. Fence Craft positions gates to swing away from the water and mounts the latch high enough to stay out of a small child’s reach, then confirms that each gate returns to a closed, latched position on its own. The company also handles the permit process in most of the jurisdictions it serves, though a few require the property owner to pull the permit directly.
“A pool fence is not the place to save a few dollars,” said Roy Garner, president of Fence Craft. “After nearly four decades, the failure I see most is at the gate, a latch set too low or a hinge that stops closing on its own after one summer. Get the gate right and the barrier does its job. Get it wrong and the fence is just decoration.”
