Michigan's adopted residential code applies the same barrier rules to above-ground pools deeper than 24 inches. Removable ladders or barrier compliance is required statewide.
Under the Stille-DeRossett-Hale Act (MCL 125.1504) and Michigan Residential Code Appendix G, above-ground pools with sidewalls 48 inches or higher may serve as their own barrier if access is controlled by a removable, lockable, or self-closing/self-latching ladder or steps. If sidewalls are below 48 inches or steps are fixed, a separate compliant barrier is required. Pool depth over 24 inches triggers the rules regardless of whether the pool is in-ground, above-ground, or inflatable. Building permits may be required by local code officials enforcing the state-adopted code.
Code violations result in stop-work orders, removal demands, and civil fines under MCL 125.1523.
