Columbus requires residential swimming pools to be enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches tall with self-closing, self-latching gates. The fence must prevent unsupervised access by young children.
Under Columbus'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 are permitted on the barrier exterior. Above-ground pools with walls at least 48 inches may serve as their own barrier if the ladder is removable.
Pools without proper barriers face code enforcement, fines, and may need to be drained until compliant barriers are installed.
