4 to 6 feet with locks on the gate. Our fence is 6 foot and we immediately increased our home owners/liability insurance. We have lots of neighbors with children who would gladly swim in our pool when we are NOT EVEN HOME!!!! The parents do not watch them carefully enough. If you use an metal fence, make sure you have the spaces between each bar small enough to keep small pets out. Keep these thoughts in mind. Hopes this helps!

The law in most states is 4 feet high but some like Florida and California are going to 5 feet high. The gate must be self-closing and self-latching. The gate also needs to open out away from the pool. Where you grab the latch to open the gate needs to be above 54 inches (60 inches in some areas). There can be no gap anywhere in the fence that a 4 inch sphere can pass through. See the links below for a pamphlet called "Blueprint for Pool Gate Safety".

Typical fences in the backyard cannot be higher than six feet tall. Additionally, the ones in the front yard cannot be more than four feet high. I hope this answers your question.

Pennsylvania state law requires that an in-ground swimming pool fence is 4 feet high, however, for extra precaution, many pool companies recommend a fence that is 6 feet high.
