Mandatory 4-sided enclosure height and climbing barriers#
Municipal safety bylaws require all residential pools to be surrounded by a continuous barrier at least 48 to 60 inches high. The fence must have no footholds or horizontal rails closer than 45 inches apart on the exterior side.
Electrical equipotential bonding around pool decks#
Electrical safety code mandates continuous #8 solid copper bonding wire connecting the pool shell, metal ladder handrails, pump motors, and conductive rebar in concrete decks to eliminate stray voltage shock hazards.
