An above-ground pool in Coweta County still needs a permit and a barrier. The pool wall counts as the barrier only when it stands at least 48 inches high and the access ladder is secured, locked, or removable.
Coweta County treats a permanent above-ground pool as a structure needing a building permit and pump inspection, the same as an in-ground pool. Georgia's Swimming Pool and Spa Code, Section 305.5, lets the pool wall serve as the required barrier when it rises at least 48 inches above grade around the entire perimeter, the height set in Section 305.2.1. Where a ladder or steps provide access, they must be secured, locked, or removed when not in use, or enclosed by a compliant barrier. A pool wall under 48 inches needs an added fence. Small temporary inflatable pools below the depth threshold are not permanent structures.
Leaving an access ladder unsecured on an above-ground pool is a cited barrier defect. A pool wall under 48 inches without an added barrier fails inspection and cannot be filled.
