Colorado Springs follows the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) and 2021 International Building Code for pool barriers. A minimum 48-inch (4-foot) barrier is required, with no opening larger than 4 inches. Gates in pool barriers must be self-closing and self-latching, with the latch on the pool side or at least 54 inches above the ground. The fence must completely enclose the pool area. The permanent fence must be complete before the pool is filled with water. If the house wall serves as part of the barrier, entry-warning alarms may be required on doors/windows. Final pool inspection by PPRBD must verify fence compliance.
