Residential pools and spas in Castle Rock must be enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches high, under the Town-adopted 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching and open away from the pool.
Castle Rock enforces the 2024 ISPSC barrier rules. Under ISPSC Section 305, the barrier must be at least 48 inches high measured on the side facing away from the pool. Pedestrian gates must open outward, be self-closing and self-latching; where the latch is on the pool side, it must sit at least 3 inches below the top of the gate, and openings within 18 inches of the latch must be no larger than 1/2 inch. These clearances prevent small children from climbing or reaching through.
A pool that fails a final inspection for barrier deficiencies will not receive approval; unpermitted or non-compliant barriers must be corrected under Title 15 building enforcement.
