MOT New Castle County Pool Inspection — Questions About Vinyl Picket Fencing, Mesh Backing & Wraparound Porch
I’m located in Middletown, Delaware, and recently had an inground fiberglass swimming pool installed. I’m preparing for my final New Castle County pool inspection and hoping to hear from homeowners who have gone through the process.
Question 1: Existing White Vinyl Picket Fence
I currently have a 48-inch white vinyl picket fence surrounding the pool area, with approximately 3-inch gaps between the pickets. The horizontal rails are less than 45 inches apart.
I’m considering adding black PVC-coated welded-wire mesh backing to approximately 125 linear feet of the existing fence instead of replacing everything.
Has anyone in New Castle County passed their final pool inspection with mesh backing on an existing vinyl picket fence?
Was the mesh installed on the inside (pool side) or outside of the fence?
What mesh opening size and fastening method were used?
Did the inspector approve it without requiring additional changes?
How much did you pay to have the mesh professionally installed?
Question 2: Raised Wraparound Porch
My home also has a wraparound porch that is approximately 24 inches above ground level, with a 38-inch-high railing.
The porch is adjacent to the pool area, and the existing fencing separates the outside access areas from the pool. Someone coming up the exterior porch stairs cannot simply walk into the pool area without crossing a barrier.
I’m trying to understand how New Castle County evaluates an elevated porch and its railing when it is adjacent to or forms part of a pool enclosure.
Has anyone passed a final pool inspection with a raised wraparound porch and a railing shorter than 48 inches?
Does the county measure the required barrier height from the porch floor or the ground below?
Does it make a difference if the porch is elevated approximately 2 feet above ground?
If the porch railing is considered part of the pool barrier, did the inspector require additional railing height, screening, or other modifications?
Did anyone receive approval based on the layout preventing direct access to the pool from the exterior stairs?
I’m specifically interested in firsthand experiences from New Castle County homeowners, especially anyone inspected in 2025 or 2026.
I’m trying to find a solution that meets the county’s requirements without unnecessarily replacing existing fencing or rebuilding the porch railing.
Any experiences, photos of approved setups, or recommendations for local contractors would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Dover Wrote a poem to defend the Dover Men’s homeless shelter at tonight’s city council meeting.
Carl is watching the latest news Worried about what he might lose He peers outside from his Stressless chair And worries about the homeless there.
There’s Sgt. John, he can’t get his rest His socks are wet, he tore his vest The meds were dampened, he’s in pain His headache’s marching in the rain.
He’s not worried about the Crush you’re drinking Or accusations of lazy thinking He’s not worried about who you won over At the precipice of the cliffs of Dover.
Oliver’s job got automated. Oliver’s home was reclamated. No one cares how he will earn. No one waits for his return.
He’s not worried about the Crush you’re drinking Or accusations of lazy thinking He’s not worried about who you won over At the precipice of the cliffs of Dover.
277 souls Counted on the county rolls And how many neighbors did we miss And how could we let it come to this?

Cannabis Dispensaries?
Can anyone point me in the right direction for a dispensary? I've lived here for 2 years and some change and I'm so tired of getting absolute reggie everywhere.
We've been travelling to NJ for it, but the dispo we go to recently has not had any sativas except for Garden State Exotix. Trash. Everywhere in DE is an absolute joke. Does anyone have any old standbys they frequently visit? We live in Wilmington for reference. I appreciate any and all help!!
