Every outdoor residential pool in Galloway Township must be enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches (4 feet) high, under the New Jersey Swimming Pool and Spa Code adopted through the Uniform Construction Code (N.J.A.C. 5:23). Access gates must open outward and be self-closing and self-latching.
New Jersey enforces the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code as part of the state UCC (N.J.A.C. 5:23), which applies statewide including in Galloway Township. The barrier must surround the pool with no gaps that would allow a young child to pass. Pedestrian gates must swing away from the pool and latch automatically. Above-ground pool walls can serve as part of the barrier if ladders or steps are removable or lockable when the pool is unattended.
Failing to install a compliant barrier violates the Uniform Construction Code; the Construction Official may deny the certificate of approval, order corrections, and assess UCC penalties until the barrier passes inspection.
