Above-ground pools in Lakewood must meet barrier requirements. Pools with 48-inch walls and lockable ladders may use walls as barriers.
Above-ground pools are subject to the same building code as in-ground pools. If walls are at least 48 inches with a removable or lockable ladder, the walls serve as the barrier. Pools with shorter walls need additional fencing. A permit may be required for permanent installations. This above ground pools rule under Lakewood's swimming pools ordinances applies to properties within Lakewood city limits. For current statutory text, amendments, enforcement procedures, fines, appeal options, and any exemptions that may apply to your situation, contact Lakewood code enforcement directly or consult the official Colorado municipal code library. Ordinances change periodically; always verify with local staff before relying on summary information.
Non-compliant above-ground pools face the same enforcement as in-ground pools.
