Dunedin adopts the Florida Building Code and Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act standards for pool barriers. Barriers must be at least 4 feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates, and must prevent young children from crawling under or climbing over.
Dunedin requires residential swimming pool barriers to comply with the Florida Building Code and Chapter 515, Florida Statutes. Barriers must be a minimum of 4 feet high on the outside, with no gaps or openings that would allow a young child to crawl under, squeeze through, or climb over. Gates providing pool access must open outward away from the pool, be self-closing and self-latching, with the latch at least 54 inches above the ground. The barrier must be placed sufficiently far from the water's edge to prevent immediate falls. Dunedin's code also addresses fences used as combined yard and pool barriers, requiring all barrier requirements to be met.
Failing pool barrier inspections can prevent certificate of occupancy issuance, trigger code citations, and create civil liability under Florida's Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act.
