Above-ground pools in Glendale must meet the same safety requirements as in-ground pools under California law. Pool walls may serve as part of the barrier if they meet height and no-foothold requirements.
Above-ground pools with water depth exceeding 18 inches must comply with California's pool safety requirements. Pool walls at least 60 inches high may serve as the barrier if there are no footholds and the access ladder is removable or lockable. If walls are below 60 inches, additional fencing is required. The California Swimming Pool Safety Act's two-safety-feature requirement applies. A building permit may be required depending on size.
Non-compliant above-ground pools receive the same enforcement as in-ground pools. Correction notices and fines for continued non-compliance.
