Above-ground pools over 24 inches deep require a permit and barrier; pools with 48+ inch walls can serve as their own barrier if ladders are removable or secured.
Above-ground pools in Sandy are regulated identically to in-ground pools for barrier and permit purposes. If the pool wall is at least 48 inches above grade on all sides, the wall itself can serve as the required barrier, provided any ladder or steps can be removed, secured, or surrounded by a compliant barrier when the pool is not in use. Setback from property lines is typically 5 feet. Electrical for pumps and heaters must be permitted and meet GFCI requirements. Decks attached to above-ground pools require permits and railings.
