Largo FAQ

Pinellas Park FAQ

Can my existing yard fence count as the pool barrier?

Only if it independently meets all height, opening, climbability, and self-closing gate requirements of FBC R4501.17. Many standard yard fences do not qualify.

Are pool covers an alternative to fencing?

An ASTM F1346-compliant power safety cover may satisfy one Chapter 515 safety feature, but the Florida Building Code barrier requirements still apply for residential pools.
