FL §515.29 requires a 48-inch minimum barrier around all residential pools with self-closing, self-latching gates opening away from the pool. Boynton Beach enforces this through the building permit inspection process.
Per FL §515.27 and §515.29, residential pools must have a 4-foot minimum fence, no footholds, vertical pickets less than 4 inches apart, and self-latching gates with release 54 inches above ground. Alternatively, pools may use approved safety covers, exit alarms on house doors opening to pool area, or self-closing/self-latching doors. Boynton Beach verifies compliance during the final barrier inspection. Enclosed screen pool cages typically satisfy the barrier requirement when properly constructed.
