Wichita FAQ
Can I use my house wall as one side of the pool barrier?
Yes, but every door from the house to the pool must have an audible door alarm, OR the pool must have an approved ASTM F1346 safety cover, OR doors must be self-closing with an elevated latch.
Does an above-ground pool need a fence in Wichita?
If the pool sides are at least 48 inches high, the pool wall counts as the barrier, but the ladder must be removable, lockable, or surrounded by a barrier when the pool is not in use.
