Pool barriers for one- and two-family dwellings governed by the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code (Wis. Admin. Code SPS 320-325), which adopts IRC Appendix AG105 standards. A 48-inch enclosure with self-closing, self-latching gates is the typical requirement. Outagamie County zoning adds local setback rules for pools as accessory structures in unincorporated areas.
Wisconsin's Uniform Dwelling Code (SPS 320-325), administered by the Department of Safety and Professional Services, sets pool barrier standards for residential pools and spas at one- and two-family dwellings. Barriers must be at least 48 inches high measured from the exterior side, with no openings allowing passage of a 4-inch sphere, and gates must be self-closing and self-latching, opening outward. Above-ground pools with non-climbable sides 48 inches high may use the pool wall as a barrier when the ladder is removable or lockable. In Appleton, Kaukauna, and other incorporated jurisdictions, additional municipal rules govern pool placement and permits. Outagamie County does not have a separate pool fencing chapter.
UDC violations are enforced by certified building inspectors under Wis. Stat. §101.65; correction orders may be issued and continued non-compliance can result in forfeitures.
