PERMITS

Do You Need a Permit for a Pool in Glencoe?

Yes. Southwest Middlesex requires a permit for every pool deeper than 600 mm (2 ft), plus a pool enclosure fence permit before the pool goes in.

We handle the permit paperwork for you as part of every installation.

If your yard is near a creek, a river valley or a wetland, the local conservation authority may need to issue a permit first. Southwest Middlesex won't issue a building permit until that permit is in place.

POOL FENCES

Pool Fence Rules in Glencoe

✓The fence must be at least 1.52 m (5 ft) high.
✓Gaps can be no wider than 10 cm (4 in), and lattice or chain-link openings no bigger than 4 square inches.
✓The fence can't be climbable like a ladder, so rails go on the pool side, at least 76 cm (30 in) apart.
✓Gates need a self-closing, self-latching device at the top of the gate on the pool side, and must swing shut within 30 seconds.
✓Your house or another building can form part of the enclosure.
✓A sturdy temporary fence goes up during installation, and the permanent fence must be finished within 7 days of filling the pool.
✓Zoning puts the pool in a side or rear yard, at least 1.5 m from the side and rear lot lines.

COST

What Does a Fiberglass Pool Cost in Glencoe?

Most of our fiberglass pool projects fall between $82,500 and $143,000, fully installed. That covers the pool, excavation, backfill, basic equipment and a standard concrete patio.

Where you land in that range depends on the pool size, the patio, equipment upgrades and your yard. The Instant Estimator gives you a range for your own project, and you get an exact price once we've seen your yard.

Is a Fiberglass Pool Right for Every Yard?

Not always. Fiberglass pools are built in a factory and shipped by truck, so they top out at about 16 feet wide and about 8 feet deep, and a crane needs a clear path to set the pool in your yard. If you want a bigger pool or a custom shape, concrete is the better choice.
