Augusta requires residential swimming pools to be enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches tall with self-closing, self-latching gates. Georgia building code and local requirements apply.
Under Augusta's building code and Georgia state requirements, all residential swimming pools must be enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches in height. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching with latches on the pool side at least 54 inches above grade. The barrier must not have openings allowing a 4-inch sphere to pass through. No climbable features on the barrier exterior. Above-ground pools with 48-inch walls may serve as their own barrier with removable ladders.
Pools without proper barriers face code enforcement, fines, and may need to be drained until compliant.
