Columbus applies the same barrier requirements to above-ground pools as in-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 swimming pools in Columbus must meet the same barrier requirements as in-ground pools. If pool walls are at least 48 inches tall and the access ladder can be removed, locked, or secured, the pool walls may function as the barrier. Otherwise, a separate 48-inch fence is needed. Larger above-ground pools may require building permits. Electrical connections must have GFCI protection. Water drainage must not cause damage to neighboring properties.
Non-compliant above-ground pools face code enforcement. Pools without proper barriers may need to be drained.
