Residential Pool Fence
Using Ornamental Steel
Project Overview
Niverville Fence Installation
Ornamental Steel Fence
Shorty’s Fencing recently completed a residential ornamental pool fence installation in Niverville, Manitoba, featuring premium Montage Majestic ornamental steel fencing. This project combined safety, compliance, and curb appeal with a full property enclosure and secure pool area design.
This installation highlights how ornamental steel fencing and pool safety fencing can enhance both the functionality and appearance of a residential property while meeting local safety requirements.
For this project, Shorty’s Fencing supplied and installed approximately 300 feet of black all colour black fence to fully enclose the property, along with a dedicated pool enclosure using 5-foot-high Montage Majestic fencing with a flat top and 3-rail panel design.
The Montage system is a high-performance ornamental fence product designed for residential applications requiring both strength and aesthetics. This fencing system features:
- Heavy-duty welded steel construction for long-term durability
- Profusion welding technology for added strength at every picket-to-rail connection
- Black E-coat protective finish to resist corrosion and Manitoba weather conditions
- Clean, modern flat top ornamental fence design
- 3-rail panel configuration for added rigidity and security
All fence posts were direct driven 4 feet deep, providing superior stability in varying soil conditions.

Pool Fence Design and Gate Installation
The pool enclosure was constructed using 5-foot ornamental steel fencing, paired with two self-closing walk-through gates, each sized at approximately 38.5 inches wide.
Pool fencing requires careful planning to meet safety standards and ensure compliance with municipal bylaws. For this project, key features included:
- Self-closing gates to automatically secure entry points
- Secure latch systems positioned appropriately for child safety
- Consistent fence height and spacing for code compliance
- Tight picket spacing suitable for pool safety applications
The chosen configuration provides both safety and visibility, allowing for clear sightlines into the pool area while maintaining a secure barrier.
Pool Fence Height Requirements in Manitoba
Pool fencing in Manitoba and surrounding municipalities such as Winnipeg requires adherence to specific safety standards to reduce the risk of accidental access.
Typical residential pool fence requirements include:
- Minimum fence height of 5 feet (1.5 metres) around the pool enclosure
- Fencing must prevent climbing and limit openings that could allow children to pass through
- Gates must be self-closing and self-latching
- Latches must be positioned out of reach of small children or protected by design
- No gaps or footholds that would allow easy scaling of the fence
These requirements are designed to ensure that backyard pools remain secure and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

Private Utility Locates and Site Preparation
Before installation began, private utility locates were arranged to identify and mark the underground sprinkler system. This step ensured that all fence posts could be installed without damaging irrigation lines or existing infrastructure.
Proper planning and site preparation are critical for residential fencing projects, especially when working around:
- Sprinkler systems
- Landscaping features
- Underground services
- Property boundaries
This process allows for clean installation and helps prevent costly repairs after the project is complete.
Why Ornamental Steel Fencing is Ideal for Pool Areas
Ornamental steel fencing is one of the most popular choices for residential pool fences in Manitoba due to its combination of safety, durability, and appearance.
Benefits include:
- Long lifespan with minimal maintenance
- Strong, rigid construction for safety compliance
- Open design for visibility and supervision of pool areas
- Enhanced property value and curb appeal
- Compatibility with self-closing and locking gate systems
Unlike wood or vinyl, ornamental steel fencing maintains its structure and appearance over time with minimal upkeep.
