Adams County requires screen fencing to conceal outdoor storage, a 6-foot minimum screen fence for garbage/storage areas, and a pool barrier at least 48 inches high enclosing swimming pools. Fences must be maintained in good condition.
Under Adams County DSR Ch. 4, screen fencing is required to conceal outside storage from adjacent roads and lower-intensity uses; garbage-area and outdoor-storage screening must be at least a 6-foot-high screen fence. Swimming pools must be completely enclosed by a fence not less than 48 inches high with no opening large enough to permit passage. Masonry screen walls must be brick or stone that fully conceals contents. All fencing must always be maintained in good condition, evaluated for structural integrity under the Adams County Building Code and being substantially as originally permitted.
Failing to screen required areas, dropping below the 48-inch pool barrier, or letting a fence fall into disrepair are code violations subject to correction orders and enforcement.
