Residential pool barriers in Kaneohe must meet ROH Sec. 16-6.2, which requires enclosures, self-closing gates, and opening limits to protect children. Compliance is inspected before pool final approval.
ROH 16-6.2 mandates that residential pools in Kaneohe have a continuous barrier at least 48 inches tall with a self-closing, self-latching gate opening outward away from the pool. Openings in the barrier cannot exceed 4 inches, and any doors from the house leading directly to the pool must be alarmed or self-closing. Kaneohe has many family neighborhoods like Temple Valley and Pikoiloa, where pool safety is a major concern. Plans must be approved by DPP before construction, and final inspection verifies barrier compliance before the pool can be used. Spas with secured safety covers may have alternative compliance paths.
Missing or non-compliant pool barriers result in citations, required retrofitting, and large civil liability exposure in the event of injury or drowning.
