aboveground, or onground pool, hot tub, or spa, should be
provided with a barrier which complies with the following:
1. The top of the barrier should be at least 48 inches
above grade measured on the side of the barrier which
faces away from the swimming pool. The maximum
vertical clearance between grade and the bottom of
the barrier should be 4 inches measured on the side of
the barrier which faces away from the swimming
pool.Where the top of the pool structure is above
grade, such as an aboveground pool, the barrier may
be at ground level, such as the pool structure, 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 should be
4 inches.
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a
4-inch diameter sphere.
3. Solid barriers, which do not have openings, such as a
masonry or stone wall, should not contain indentations
or protrusions except for normal construction
tolerances and tooled masonry joints.
4. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and
vertical members and the distance between the tops of
the horizontal members is less than 45 inches, the
horizontal members should be located on the
swimming pool side of the fence. Spacing between
vertical members should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in
width. Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing
within the cutouts should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in
width.
