Unobstructed walk areas of not less than 36 inches shall be provided to extend entirely around any inground swimming pool. The walk area shall be constructed of impervious material and the surfaces shall be such as to be smooth and easily cleaned and of nonslip construction. The slope of the walks shall have a pitch of at least one-fourth inch to the foot, designed to prevent back drainage from entering the swimming pool. On all aboveground swimming pools, no completely surrounding walk shall be required. Where such walk area is provided, however, such area shall be at least 15 inches wide and bordered by a fence or railing.
