New Orleans Pool Builders provides professional pool safety fencing, covers & alarms in New Orleans, LA for homeowners across Greater New Orleans and the Northshore. Pool safety fencing, covers, and alarms in New Orleans keep small children out of the water and keep short-term rental owners on the right side of both their insurer and their guests.
We install removable mesh fencing, automatic and manual safety covers, gate and door alarms, surface and subsurface alarms, and we upgrade existing gate hardware, which is the cheapest item on this list and the one that fails most often.
This is the least entertaining page on the site and the one that matters most.
The principle worth internalising is layers, because any single barrier can be propped open, left unlatched, or ignored by a guest who does not have small children and simply is not thinking about it.
Two or three independent layers is what protects a toddler, and they do not all cost much. Removable mesh safety fencing does most of the work in most yards.
Four to five feet tall, self-closing and self-latching gate with the latch mounted out of reach, posts set into flush sleeves so the run lifts out in twenty minutes for a crawfish boil and goes back before bedtime.
It is transparent enough that it does not wall off a courtyard, which is the objection we hear most and the reason people put it off for a year.
Automatic safety covers are the strongest single option: they close on a key switch in under a minute, support an adult's weight, and in this climate they do a second job nobody expects, which is keeping out the leaf and pollen load that drives so much of our algae pressure.
They want a shape they can track along, so rectangles and simple geometrics suit them better than freeform pools. Manual anchored covers do the same protective job for less money, at the cost of actually deploying one.
Alarms are the backup layer: surface and subsurface alarms detect entry into the water, while gate and door alarms catch the failure before the water does.
For short-term rental owners we will walk the property and tell you specifically what a plaintiff's attorney would look at first, which is usually a gate that does not self-latch and a house door with no alarm on it.
Humidity here is rough on cover mechanisms, springs, and hardware, so we specify corrosion-resistant fasteners and service what we install.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete construction, hydrostatic relief valves for a high water table, PebbleTec and quartz interior finishes, travertine and brick coping with glass waterline tile, variable-speed pumps and cartridge or DE filtration, saltwater chlorination — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Orleans and nearby communities including Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, Harvey.

Materials, equipment and how we do pool safety fencing, covers & alarms
The difference between pool safety fencing, covers & alarms that lasts and pool safety fencing, covers & alarms that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete construction, hydrostatic relief valves for a high water table, PebbleTec and quartz interior finishes, travertine and brick coping with glass waterline tile, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every New Orleans job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in Greater New Orleans and the Northshore means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
