Augusta applies the same barrier requirements to above-ground pools. Pools with walls at least 48 inches tall may serve as their own barrier if the ladder is removable or lockable.
Above-ground pools in Augusta must meet the same safety requirements as in-ground pools. If walls are at least 48 inches and the ladder can be removed or locked, the walls may function as the barrier. Otherwise, a separate 48-inch fence is needed. Larger pools may require permits. Electrical connections require GFCI protection.
Non-compliant pools face code enforcement. Pools without barriers may need to be drained.
