How tall does a fence surrounding a pool need to be?
Any swimming pool, or any permitted area of the property on which it is located, shall be so walled for fenced by approved material and construction a minimum of 48" high to prevent uncontrolled access from the street or adjacent properties. For above ground pools the sidewall of the pool may serve as the safety wall provided the sidewall of the pool is at least 48" high measured from grade at the base of the wall. On lots in the A-1 District, containing five (5) acres or more, in lieu of a wall or fence an automatic pool cover meeting ASTM F1346-91 standards (or as modified) may be installed.
