Residential pools in Duluth must be enclosed by a 48-inch barrier with self-closing, self-latching gates per Georgia Residential Code Appendix G (based on IRC). Applies to pools over 24 inches deep.
The Georgia Residential Code (adopted statewide, based on the International Residential Code) requires pools exceeding 24 inches in depth to be enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches tall. Gates must swing outward, be self-closing, and self-latching with the latch at least 54 inches above the ground. Openings in the barrier must not allow passage of a 4-inch sphere. Dwelling walls can serve as one side of the barrier if doors have alarms or are self-closing.
Building Department issues stop-work orders or red-tags pools without compliant barriers; fines up to $1,000/day until brought into compliance.
