Fencing Requirements: Pittsburg vs Walnut Creek

Pool barriers in Pittsburg are governed by California Health and Safety Code sections 115920 through 115929 (the Swimming Pool Safety Act) as enforced through the California Building Code. Any new pool or spa or remodel equipped to be filled with water more than 18 inches deep must include at least two of seven approved drowning prevention safety features, with an enclosing barrier at least 60 inches high being the most common. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching with latches at least 54 inches above the ground.

Walnut Creek pool barriers must comply with California's Swimming Pool Safety Act (HSC §115920–115929), requiring a minimum 60-inch enclosure with self-closing, self-latching gates and non-climbable features. Pools permitted after 2007 must also include at least two secondary safety features from the state-approved list.
