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.

complies with ASTM F1346-91 listed below.

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.

Preparation

Do not install the pool on a slope or inclined surfaces, on soft or loose

soil conditions (such as sand or mud), or on an elevated surface such

as a deck, platform or balcony, which may collapse under the weight of

the filled pool.

• It is essential the pool is set up on solid, level ground. If the pool is

set up on uneven ground it can cause collapse of the pool and

flooding, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to personal

property. Setting up on uneven ground will void the warranty and

service claims.

• Do not set up on driveways, decks, platforms, gravel or asphalt.

Ground should be firm enough to withstand the pressure of the water;

mud, sand, soft / loose soil or tar are not suitable.

• The ground must be cleared of all objects and debris including stones

and twigs.

• Check with your local city council for by-laws relating to fencing,

barriers, lighting and safety requirements and ensure you comply with

all laws.
