R&T Fence Company recently completed two major fencing projects at the Renova of Brunswick apartment complex in Brunswick, Ohio. Partnering with Integrity Realty Group, these upgrades were part of a broader effort to improve safety, functionality, and curb appeal for residents.
The first project replaced an aging chain link fence around the community pool with a 5-foot black aluminum commercial pool fence that meets modern safety codes and adds a clean, updated look.
The second transformed an unused basketball court into a brand-new dog park, enclosed with a 4-foot black chain link fence designed for strength and long-term durability.
Both fences are maintenance free and built to last—offering practical, attractive upgrades that enhance the living experience at Renova of Brunswick.
Upgrading the Pool Area: From Chain Link to Commercial Aluminum Fence
Pool safety is a top priority for any apartment complex. A proper fence helps prevent unauthorized access and protects children from potential accidents.
The existing chain link fence at Renova of Brunswick had seen better days. It lacked both visual appeal and essential safety features. The gates didn’t meet pool code requirements, missing self-closing hinges and self-latching hardware.
To improve safety, meet code, and enhance curb appeal, we replaced it with a 5-foot tall black aluminum commercial pool fence.
The upgrade not only makes the pool area more secure but also gives it a clean, modern look that lasts.
Out with the Old Chain Link Pool Fence

Existing Chain Link Pool Fence
The original fence around the pool at Renova of Brunswick was an old galvanized chain link fence. It looked outdated and failed to highlight one of the apartment complex’s best amenities—its pool.
Beyond appearance, the fence also lacked proper security. Chain link is easy to climb, and the gates didn’t meet current pool codes. They were missing self-closing hinges and self-latching mechanisms, both critical for safety.
Rust was also beginning to show, further taking away from the pool’s visual appeal. To enhance both security and style, the decision was made to replace it with a durable, black aluminum commercial pool fence.
The result is a safer, more attractive space that residents can enjoy with peace of mind.

In with the New: 5’ Black Aluminum Commercial Pool Fence

Integrity Realty Group knew the pool area at Renova of Brunswick needed a better fencing solution—one that offered safety, security, and curb appeal, all without ongoing maintenance.
The answer was a 5-foot-tall black aluminum commercial pool fence.
This new fence meets all required safety codes. It features self-closing, self-latching gates and stands at the minimum height for pool safety standards. The space between the horizontal rails also complies with BOCA pool code, making it much harder to climb.
But the benefits go beyond safety. The new commercial pool fence dramatically improves the look of the entire pool area. The sleek black aluminum design adds a modern touch that enhances the property’s overall aesthetic.
Even better, the fence is built to last. The commercial-grade aluminum comes with a lifetime warranty and requires no maintenance—providing reliable, worry-free protection for years to come.

Creating a Dog-Friendly Space from a Retired Basketball Court
Renova of Brunswick is a pet-friendly community, but it lacked a dedicated space for dogs to play and exercise. Residents needed a secure, open area where pets could run freely and socialize with other dogs.
To solve this, the management team looked at underused areas on the property. The old basketball court, which hadn’t seen much action, provided the perfect opportunity.
Converting this space into a dog park fence would give residents and their pets exactly what they needed—without expanding the property footprint.
Repurposing Unused Space
Old Basketball Court
The property had an old basketball court that wasn’t getting much use. It was the perfect spot to create a dog park for Renova of Brunswick residents.
The asphalt surface was removed to make room for the new play area. This change reclaimed an unused space and turned it into a functional, pet-friendly feature. Now, residents and their dogs have a safe, dedicated place to play and enjoy the outdoors.
Installing the 4’ Black Chain Link Dog Park Fence

A 4-foot tall black chain link fence was chosen for the new dog park. While it may look simple, several key upgrades were made to ensure lasting safety and security for resident pets.
First, the fence framework uses larger, stronger components. This gives the structure added strength and durability for long-term use. The chain link mesh also uses a heavier gauge wire than most standard dog parks. This helps the fence resist damage from chewing or pulling.
A bottom rail was added for extra support. It secures the base of the mesh and prevents dogs from pushing under the fence to escape.
To enhance safety, the dog park fence was divided into two separate play areas. This allows dogs to play in smaller groups and prevents problems if certain pets don’t get along.
Finally, the all-black finish offers a clean, modern look. It blends better with the surroundings and avoids the industrial feel of a standard galvanized chain link fence.

Benefits for Residents and Property Management
The new commercial pool fence and dog park fence offer big advantages for both residents and property management at Renova of Brunswick.
The aluminum pool fence improves safety and meets all current pool code requirements, including self-closing and self-latching gates.
The dog park fence creates a valuable space for pet owners. It adds convenience by giving dogs a safe place to play and exercise.
Both fences also boost curb appeal. Their sleek black finish adds a modern touch and helps the property stand out.
Best of all, both fencing solutions are maintenance free. That means they’ll continue to look great and perform well for many years without added work or cost.
