Above-ground pools in Chandler must meet the same barrier requirements as in-ground pools. Pools with non-climbable walls at least 5 feet high with secured ladders may satisfy barrier requirements.
Chandler applies identical safety standards to above-ground and in-ground pools under the adopted building code and ARS 36-1681. Above-ground pools with non-climbable walls at least 5 feet high may use the pool walls as the barrier if the ladder or steps can be secured, locked, or removed. Pools with walls under 5 feet require a separate barrier. The pool must meet setback requirements from property lines and cannot be in the front yard or utility easements. Electrical outlets must be at least 10 feet from the water. Chandler's Home Owners Building Permit Manual provides detailed barrier guidelines.
Non-compliant above-ground pools are subject to building code enforcement. Missing barriers or inadequate ladder security must be corrected immediately.
