Daytona Beach follows Florida's strict pool barrier law (FL §515 Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act). All residential pools must be enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches tall measured from the outside. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching, opening away from the pool.
Florida Building Code Section R4501.17 requires pool barriers meeting specific standards. Barriers must be 48 inches minimum height with no more than 2-inch clearance at the bottom. Vertical member spacing cannot exceed 4 inches when horizontal members are 45+ inches apart. Chain link mesh must be 2.25-inch square maximum. Gates must open away from the pool with self-closing, self-latching hardware. At least one additional safety feature is required: pool alarm, safety cover, door alarm, or self-closing doors. Removable child barriers must be 20+ inches from the water's edge.
Pool barrier violations are treated seriously due to child safety. Violations carry immediate fines of $250–$1,000 and mandatory correction within 48 hours. Repeated non-compliance may result in pool condemnation orders.
