Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Swimming Pool
Section I: Outdoor swimming pool
An outdoor swimming pool, including an in-ground, above ground, or
on-ground 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
above ground 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.
WARNING WARNING
Electrocution Risk
No Diving
You can break your neck
and be paralyzed!
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 within18 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 above the threshold of the door.
(b) The pool should be equipped with a power safety cover which
complies with ASTM F1346-91 listed below.
(c) Other means of protection, such as self-closing doors with
self-latching devices, are acceptable so long as the degree of
protection afforded is not less than the protection afforded by (a) or
(b) described above.
10. Where an above ground pool structure is used as a barrier or
where the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, and the
means of access is a ladder or steps, then (a) the ladder to the
pool or steps should be capable of being secured, locked or
removed to prevent access, or (b) the ladder or steps should be
surrounded by a barrier which meets Section I, Paragraphs 1
through 9. When the ladder or steps are secured, locked, or
removed, any opening created should not allow the passage of a
4-inch diameter sphere.
Section II: Barrier Locations
Barriers should be located so as to prohibit permanent structures,
equipment or similar objects from being used to climb the barriers.
