Every residential pool in unincorporated Pinal County must be enclosed by a perimeter barrier at least 60 inches (5 feet) high, mirroring Arizona's statewide pool-enclosure law A.R.S. 36-1681.
Pinal County Bulletin 010 requires the barrier top to be at least 60 inches above finished grade measured on the outside. Chain-link or wrought-iron fencing must leave no more than a 2-inch gap to grade (4 inches over a solid concrete deck). Climbable (ladder-effect) fencing must keep horizontal members at least 45 inches apart. Chain-link openings must not pass a 1-3/4-inch sphere. Arizona statute A.R.S. 36-1681(B)(1) independently requires the pool be 'entirely enclosed by at least a five foot wall, fence or other barrier,' with 'no openings... through which a spherical object four inches in diameter can pass.'
A non-compliant or missing barrier fails inspection and blocks pool approval; the county requires correction before the pool may be filled or used.
