Fence rules in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh is in Allegheny County.
Permit
the City of Pittsburgh's fence rules were not published online in a form we could read. Call the City of Pittsburgh before any permit or height question, and we will work from what they tell you.
Pool barrier
Pennsylvania pool barrier rules call for a barrier at least 48 inches high, measured on the side facing away from the pool, with a self-closing, self-latching gate that swings away from the pool. If the latch release is on the pool side it must be at least 54 inches off the ground. Municipalities can adopt their own changes, so confirm with yours. Read our pool fence guide.

Rules change and HOAs add their own, so we confirm what applies to your address before anything is built. Call us at 412-337-1039.
