Pools used for swimming or bathing shall conform with this chapter, whether filled with water or not.
(1) Barrier.
A. Swimming pools shall be completely enclosed by a fence or physical barrier, which shall be a minimum of forty-eight inches in height. The height shall be measured on the side of the barrier which faces away from the swimming pool. Where the top of the pool structure is above the ground level, such as an aboveground pool, the barrier may be built from ground level and the pool structure shall serve as a component of the barrier or mounted on top of the pool structure. Where the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, the maximum vertical clearance between the top of the pool structure and the bottom of the barrier shall be four inches, measured on the side of the barrier which faces away from the swimming pool. When the pool structure is in-ground, the maximum vertical clearance between the ground and the bottom of the barrier shall be two inches, measured on the side of the barrier which faces away from the swimming pool.
B. All gates or doors in a barrier surrounding an in-ground swimming pool shall be self-closing, self-latching and lockable. When the release mechanism of the self-latching device is located less than fifty-four inches from the bottom of the gate, the release mechanism shall be located on the pool side of the gate at least three inches below the top of the gate, and the gate and barrier shall have no opening greater than one-half inch within eighteen inches of the release mechanism.
C. On the side of the barrier facing away from the pool, the barrier shall be constructed without members that would create a ladder or otherwise permit or facilitate climbing up the barrier. Openings in the barrier shall not allow passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere.
D. Where the aboveground pool structure is used as a barrier, or the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, and the means of access is a ladder or steps, the ladder or steps shall be capable of being secured, locked or removed to prevent access, and shall not create an opening that allows the passage of a four inch diameter sphere. Otherwise, the ladder or steps shall have a surround which complies with the barrier requirements above. The ladder or steps shall be secured, locked, or removed when the pool is not in use.
(2) Exception. These regulations shall not apply to any pool thirty inches high or less.
