Above-ground pools in North Charleston must meet the same safety barrier requirements as in-ground pools. Pools with walls at least 48 inches may use pool walls as part of the barrier.
Above-ground pools in North Charleston are subject to the same general safety requirements as in-ground pools. If the pool walls are at least 48 inches high and access is controlled (removable ladder or lockable steps), the pool walls may serve as the required barrier. Pools with lower walls require a separate fence meeting the 48-inch barrier requirement. Electrical connections must be GFCI protected. A permit may be required depending on pool size and permanence.
Non-compliant above-ground pools face the same enforcement as in-ground pools including fines and cease-use orders.
