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 122 cm (48 in) 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
10 cm (4 in) 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 10 cm (4 in).
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a
10 cm (4 in) 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 114 cm (45 in), the horizontal members should be located
on the swimming pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical
members should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width. Where
there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should not
exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members
and the distance between the tops of the horizontal members is
114 cm (45 in) or more, spacing between vertical members should
not exceed 10 cm (4 in). Where there are decorative cutouts,
spacing within the cutouts should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in
width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed
4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) square unless the fence is provided with slats
fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the openings to no
more than 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
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 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
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 137 cm (54 in) from the
bottom of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located
on the pool side of the gate at least 7.5 cm (3 in) below the top of
the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no opening
greater than 1.3 cm (1/2 in) within 45.7 cm (18 in) 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 305 cm (10 ft) 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
Prevent Young Children From Drowning:
Install fencing or approved barrier around all sides of pool.
State or local laws or codes may require fencing or other approved
barriers.
Check state or local laws and codes before setting up pool.
Drowning occurs silently and quickly. Assign an adult to supervise pool
and wear provided water watcher tag.
Keep children in your direct sight when they are in or near pool and
when you are filling and emptying pool.
When searching for a missing child, check pool first, even if you think
your child is in the house.
Pool presents a drowning hazard even during filling and draining of the
pool. Maintain constant supervision of children and do not remove any
safety barriers until the pool is completely empty and stowed away.
Refer to the list of barrier recommendations and guidelines as
described in CPSC Publication No.362.
Assign an adult to be responsible for watching children in the pool.
Give this person a “water watcher” tag and ask that they wear it the
entire time they are in charge of supervising children in the pool. If they
need to leave for any reason, ask this person to pass the “water
watcher” tag and the supervision responsibility to another adult.
Prevent Young Children From Gaining
Access to Pool:
Remove pool ladders before leaving pool. Toddlers can climb ladder
and get into pool.
Position furniture away from pool so that children cannot climb and
gain access to pool.
When leaving pool, remove floats and toys from pool that might attract
a child.
Be Prepared to Respond to an Emergency:
Keep a working phone and list of emergency numbers near pool.
Become certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) so you can
respond to an emergency.
137 cm (54 in) 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 aboveground 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 10 cm (4 in) 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.
Item Number: 2621064
Installation usually takes approximately 10 minutes with 2-3 people
excluding earthworks and filling.
