Eugene requires pool barriers per Oregon Building Code. In-ground pools must have a barrier at least 48 inches high with self-closing, self-latching gates. Pool barriers require permits.
Oregon Residential Specialty Code requires all in-ground swimming pools to be enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches (4 feet) high. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching with latches positioned to prevent child access. Openings must not allow passage of a 4-inch sphere. In Eugene, chain link and polypropylene fencing materials are prohibited, meaning pool barriers must use wood, vinyl, ornamental metal, or masonry. Pool barriers require building permits — separate from the general fence exemption. Doors providing direct pool access must have alarms.
Non-compliant pool barriers fail inspections and must be corrected before pool use.
