Above-ground pools in Chattanooga must meet the same barrier requirements as in-ground pools. Pool walls 48 inches or taller with lockable access may serve as part of the barrier.
Above-ground pools are subject to the same safety standards as in-ground pools. Pool walls at least 48 inches high with a lockable ladder or removable steps may serve as part of the barrier. Pools with shorter walls require additional fencing. Building permits are needed for permanent installations. Small inflatable pools may be exempt from permitting but not from safety responsibilities.
Non-compliant above-ground pools may receive code enforcement notices.
