Pool fencing in Chula Vista must comply with CVMC Chapter 15.48 and California building code requirements. The barrier must be at least 60 inches (5 feet) high with no openings that allow passage of a 4-inch sphere. Chain link fencing used as pool barriers must have mesh no larger than 1-3/4 inches. The barrier must not have any climbable features such as horizontal rails or decorative elements that provide footholds. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching with the release mechanism at least 54 inches from the ground on the pool side. Doors from the home that open directly to the pool area must have alarms meeting ASTM standards or self-closing devices. The pool barrier must be in place and inspected before the pool is filled with water. Removable mesh pool fencing meeting ASTM F2286 standards may satisfy the barrier requirement as one of the two required safety features.
Pool fencing violations are prioritized safety issues. Immediate remediation may be required. Fines and required corrective action apply. Building department may issue stop-use orders for non-compliant pools.
