An above-ground pool's own structure may serve as its barrier if it meets all state barrier requirements, but any ladder or steps must be secured, locked, or removable, or be surrounded by a compliant barrier.
Port St. Lucie's pool-barrier rules and permit forms incorporate Florida Statute 515.29. For above-ground pools, the structure of the pool may be used as its barrier, or a barrier may be mounted on top of the structure, provided the structure or mounted barrier meets all barrier requirements of s. 515.29 (at least 4 feet high on the outside, with no gaps, openings, indentations, protrusions, or climbable components). In addition, any ladder or steps providing access to an above-ground pool must be capable of being secured, locked, or removed to prevent access, or must be surrounded by a barrier meeting the statute. Port St. Lucie's local enclosure ordinance (Sec. 158.216(G)) applies to all pools, requiring a fence of 4 to 6 feet where a fence is used as the enclosure.
Failure to provide a compliant above-ground pool barrier or secured access ladder is a second-degree misdemeanor under Ch. 515, F.S. (fines up to $5,000 and/or up to 60 days in jail per Ch. 775, F.S.).
