Cost
Semi-frameless (with vertical posts): $130–$200/linear foot installed. True frameless (spigot-mounted, no posts): $200–$350/linear foot. Self-closing gate adds $1,500–$3,500.
AZ code basics
- Minimum 5 ft height above adjacent grade.
- Glass must be 12 mm tempered laminated minimum.
- Self-closing, self-latching gate, latch 54"+ off ground, opening away from pool.
- No horizontal climbable features.
- Must enclose pool on all 4 sides if house side isn't a barrier.
What goes wrong
Cheap installers skip the engineered footings (it's not a fence post — it's a structural element). One windstorm and panels fail. Always verify: certified installer, engineered drawing, permit pulled.
