AG105.2 Outdoor swimming pool. An outdoor swimming pool, including an

with a barrier which shall comply with the following:
The top of the barrier shall be at least 48 inches (1219 mm) 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
shall be 2 inches (51 mm) 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 shall be 4 inches (102
mm).
Pre-existing fences. The installation of a swimmin~q pool creates the
requirement for the barrier fence. A previously existinq fence would not have
any status under this section because the addition of the pool creates the
hazard on which the code section is based. The one exception to this qeneral
rule is when the fence on one side of the new pool is already a pool enclosure
L8
for the adiacent property. That fence seqment which is common to another yard
with a pool is a leqal nonconforminq pool enclosure and need not be upgraded.
Any other existinq fence that is lust now becoming a pool enclosure shall comply
with this section.
2. Openings in the barrier shall not allow passage of a 4-inch-diameter (102 mm)
sphere.
3. Solid barriers which do not have openings, such as a masonry or stone wall,
shall 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 (1143
mm), the horizontal members shall be located on the swimming pool side of the
fence. Spacing between vertical members shall not exceed 1.75 inches (44 mm) in
width. Where there are decorative cutouts within vertical members, spacing within
the cutouts shall not exceed 1.75 inches (44 mm) 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 (1143 mm) or
more, spacing between vertical members shall not exceed 4 inches(102 mm).
Where there are decorative cutouts within vertical members, spacing within the
cutouts shall not exceed 1.75 inches (44 mm) in width.
EXCEPTION: When horizontal members are part of a fence that is at least 6 feet
(1830 mm) in heiqht, the horizontal members need not be on the pool side of the
barrier and the 45 inch distance between horizontal members does not apply.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain
unless the fence is provided with
reduce the openings to not more
link fences shall be a 1.25-inch (32 mm) square
slats fastened at the top or the bottom which
than 1.75 inches (44 mm).
7. Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members, such as a lattice fence, the
maximum opening formed by the diagonal members shall not be more than 1.75
inches(44 mm).
8. Access gates shall comply with the requirements of Section AG105.2, Items 1
through 7, and shall be equipped to accommodate a locking device. Pedestrian
access gates shall open outward away from the pool and shall be self-closing and
have a self-latching device. Gates other than pedestrian access shall have a c~!f
latching device be equipped with Iockable hardware or padlocks and shall remain
locked at all times when not in use.
Where the release mechanism of the self-latching device is located less than 54
inches (1372 mm) from the bottom of the gate, the release mechanism and
openings shall comply with the following:
8.1. The release mechanism shall be located on the pool side of the gate at
least 3 inches (76 mm) below the top of the gate, and
8.2. The gate and barrier shall have no opening greater than 0.5 inch (12.7 mm)
within 18 inches (457 mm) of the release mechanism.
Vehicle qates desiqned or intended to be used on a reqular basis may be automatic
closinq rather than maintained locked. Automatic gates may be opened by a key or
switch (fixed or remote) but the qate shall automatically close within one to two
minutes without requirinq any additional action on the par[ of the person who
opened it.
9. Where a wall of a dwelling serves as part of the barrier one of the following
conditions shall be met:
9.1. The pool shall be equipped with a powered safety cover in compliance with
ASTM F1346; or
9.2. All doors with direct access to the pool through that wall shall be equipped
with an alarm which produces an audible warning when the door and its screen,
if present, are opened. The alarm shall sound continuously for a minimum of 30
seconds immediately after the door is opened and be capable of being heard
throughout the house during normal household activities. The alarm shall
automatically reset under all conditions. The alarm system shall be equipped
with a manual means, such as touchpad or switch, to temporarily deactivate the
alarm for a single opening. Such deactivation shall last for not more than 15
seconds. The deactivation switch(es) shall be located at least 54 inches (1372
mm) above the threshold of the door; or
9.3. Other means of protection, such as self-closing doors with self-latching
devices, which are approved by the governing body, shall be acceptable so long
as the degree of protection afforded is not less than the protection afforded by
Item 9.1 or 9.2 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:
10.1. The ladder or steps shall be capable of being secured, locked or removed
to prevent access, or
10.2. The ladder or steps shall be surrounded by a barrier which meets the
requirements of Section AG105.2, Items 1 through 9. When the ladder or steps
are secured, locked or removed, any opening created shall not allow the
passage of a 4-inch-diameter (102 mm) sphere.
