Above-ground pools in Centennial must meet the same barrier and safety standards as in-ground pools. Pool walls may serve as part of the 60-inch barrier. Ladders must be removable or secured when not in use. Hot tub covers meeting ASTM F1346 may substitute for barriers.
Above-ground pools in Centennial are subject to the same building code requirements as in-ground pools under the Colorado-adopted IRC Chapter 42. The pool wall may serve as part of the required 60-inch barrier if it meets the minimum height from finished grade. Ladders and steps providing access must be removable, retractable, or surrounded by a barrier with self-closing, self-latching gate when the pool is not in use. Hot tubs and spas with safety covers meeting ASTM F1346 may use the cover as an alternative barrier component. A building permit may be required depending on the permanence and method of installation. All above-ground pools must meet electrical bonding requirements.
Non-compliant above-ground pool: building code violation. Unsecured ladder access: safety violation.
