Pool Fence Requirements in New York State
Pool fencing in New York isn’t optional — it’s the law. The New York State Residential Code (Section R326) mandates specific safety standards to prevent accidental drownings and ensure responsible pool ownership:
- Fence Height: A minimum of 48 inches (4 feet) above the ground surrounding the entire pool area is required.
- Gap Restrictions: Openings must not allow passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere; the space between ground and fence bottom can’t exceed 2 inches. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members or decorative cutouts, or if it's a chain-link fence, the spacing shall not be greater than 1 ¾ inches in width.
- Gate Safety: Gates must be self-closing and self-latching, with latch handles inside the gate at least 40 inches above grade. Gates should open outward and have child-proof locks.
- Barrier Types: Permanent fences, walls, or combination thereof that fully enclose the pool and deter unsupervised access.
- Failure to meet these requirements can result in fines, insurance complications, and most importantly, increased safety risks.
