Swimming Pools & Spas in Bloomfield, NJ (2026)

Fencing Requirements

Bloomfield Township Code Chapter 508 requires every in-ground private swimming pool to be enclosed by a fence at least four feet in height, with substantial gates kept securely locked when the pool is not in use. Above-ground pools are exempt from the fence requirement, but access ladders or steps must be removed when the pool is not in use. The state Uniform Construction Code adopts the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (N.J.A.C. 5:23-3.14), which adds barrier standards including self-closing, self-latching gates opening outward away from the pool for any pool capable of holding more than 24 inches of water.
