Ewa Gentry FAQ

Can my existing Ewa Gentry yard fence count as the pool barrier?

Only if it meets the height, non-climbable surface, and gate latching requirements of ROH 16-6.2. Most standard wooden yard fences need gate hardware upgrades.

Are door alarms required if the house wall forms one side of the barrier?

Yes. When a dwelling wall serves as part of the barrier, audible alarms on doors leading to the pool area are generally required under the adopted residential code.

Pearl City FAQ

Does my neighbor's fence count as part of my pool barrier?

Only if it independently satisfies Section 16-6.2 height, gap, and gate rules for the full length shared with the pool yard; gaps from neighbor use can void compliance.

Is a removable mesh fence legal?

Yes, if the mesh product meets the ASTM pool-barrier standard, anchors into permanent hardware, and incorporates a self-closing, self-latching gate system.
