Above-ground pools in Manteca follow the same barrier and safety requirements as in-ground pools under the California Swimming Pool Safety Act if they are over 18 inches deep. Small kiddie pools under 18 inches are exempt from fencing requirements.
CA H&S Code §115921 defines a swimming pool as any structure over 18 inches deep intended for swimming or wading. Above-ground pools over 18 inches deep are subject to all pool barrier requirements including the 60-inch barrier and two drowning prevention features. Pools with access ladders that lock or are removable may satisfy some barrier requirements. A building permit may be required for above-ground pools depending on size; contact Manteca Building Safety Division (209) 456-8550. Pools under 18 inches deep (kiddie pools) are exempt from barrier requirements but must still be emptied when not supervised. Water must be handled in compliance with city stormwater ordinances.
Above-ground pools over 18 inches without required barriers: building code violation.
