the pool with a minimum height of 48”.
A barrier is necessary to provide protection
against potential drowning and near drowning
and is not a substitute for constant supervision of
children.
A barrier is a fence, wall, or a combination
thereof which completely surrounds the swimming pool and obstructs access to the swimming
pool. Barriers must comply with local and national
building codes and the US Consumer Product
Safety Commission.
These are minimum fencing and barrier requirements. Check your local building codes for
other requirements they may request. Optional
fencing kits are available, Please contact your local dealer.
If pool covers are used for safety barriers
they should comply with ASTM F 1346 “Standard Performance Specifi cation for Safety
Covers and Labeling Requirements for All Covers
for Swimming Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs.”
LOCAL CODES
Local building code may require obtaining a
building permit and may have regulations on set
backs, barriers, devices and other conditions that
must be followed. Any after market or home built
deck should be built to the local building code
requirements, including load capacity and fencing
requirements.
Local electrical code may require obtaining
a building permit and may have regulations on
setbacks, devices and other conditions that must
be followed.
All electrical outlet connections should be a
minimum of 5 feet from the outside perimeter of
the wall of the pool. From 5-10 feet there should
be either a fi xed connection (outlet box) or twist-
