Mobile applies the same barrier requirements to above-ground pools. Pools with walls at least 4 feet tall may serve as their own barrier if the ladder is removable or lockable.
Above-ground pools in Mobile must meet the same fencing and safety requirements as in-ground pools. If walls are at least 4 feet tall and the ladder can be removed or locked, the walls may function as the barrier. Otherwise, a separate 4-foot fence is needed. Larger pools may require permits. Electrical connections require GFCI protection. Water drainage must not damage neighboring properties.
Non-compliant pools face code enforcement. Pools without barriers may need to be drained.
