Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Swimming Pool
Section I: Outdoor swimming pool
An outdoor swimming pool, including an inground, 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.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members and the
distance between the tops of the horizontal members is 45 inches or
more, spacing between vertical members should not exceed 4 inches.
Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should not
exceed 1-3/4 inches in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed 1-3/4 inch
square unless the fence is provided with slats fastened at the top or the
bottom which reduce the openings to no more than 1-3/4 inches.
7. Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members, such as a lattice
fence, the maximum opening formed by the diagonal members should be
no more than 1-3/4 inches.
8. Access gates to the pool should comply with Section I, Paragraphs 1
through 7, and should be equipped to accommodate a locking device.
Pedestrian access gates should open outward, away from the pool, and
should be self-closing and have a self-latching device. Gates other than
pedestrian access gates should have a self-latching device. Where the
release mechanism of the self-latching device is located less than 54
inches from the bottom of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be
located on the pool side of the gate at least 3 inches below the top of the
gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no opening greater than 1/2
inch within 18 inches of the release mechanism.
9. Where a wall of a dwelling serves as part of the barrier, one of the
following should apply:
(a) All doors with direct access to the pool through that wall should be
equipped with an alarm which produces an audible warning when the door
and its screen, if present, are opened. The alarm should sound
continuously for a minimum of 30 seconds within 7 seconds after the door
is opened. Alarms should meet the requirements of UL2017
General-Purpose Signaling Devices and Systems, Section 77. The alarm
should have a minimum sound pressure rating of 85 dBA at 10 feet and
the sound of the alarm should be distinctive from other household sounds,
such as smoke alarms, telephones, and door bells. The alarm should
automatically reset under all conditions. The alarm should be equipped
with manual means, such as touchpads or switches, to temporarily
deactivate the alarm for a single opening of the door from either direction.
Such deactivation should last for no more than 15 seconds. The
deactivation touchpads or switches should be located at least 54 inches
