Huntington Beach requires pool barriers at least 60 inches high under the California Building Code. Gates must be self-closing, self-latching, and open away from the pool.
California Building Code Section 3109 requires pool barriers at least 60 inches (5 feet) high, which is stricter than the national standard. Gates must be self-closing, self-latching, and open away from the pool. Latches must be at least 60 inches above grade on the outside. Openings must not allow passage of a 4-inch sphere. At least one additional safety feature is required: pool cover, alarm, or self-latching door from the house to the pool area. Huntington Beach enforces these through the building permit and inspection process.
Non-compliant pool barriers may result in citations and fines. The city may require immediate correction for safety hazards.
