All outdoor swimming pools shall be completely enclosed by a fence. Such fence may either be used to enclose only the swimming pool itself or may be a fence which provides a continuous barrier to the portion of the yard where the swimming pool is located. The structural sides of an above-ground swimming pool may be used in satisfying a portion of the fence height requirement. In all cases a height of six feet shall be met by all vertical fence extensions from the side or other means. Retractable stairs which are self-latching are acceptable substitutes for closing gates. All fence openings or points of entry into the swimming pool area enclosures shall be equipped with gates. The fence and gates shall be six feet in height above the grade level. All gates shall be equipped with self- closing and self-latching devices placed at the top of the gate. Fence posts shall be decay or corrosion-resistant and shall be set in concrete bases or by manufacturer’s specifications.
