North Charleston requires all swimming pools to be enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches high with a self-closing, self-latching gate, per building code requirements.
Under North Charleston building codes (aligned with the International Building Code/International Residential Code), all swimming pools must be surrounded by a barrier at least 48 inches in height. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching with latches placed at least 54 inches above the ground or on the pool side of the gate. The barrier must not have openings that allow a 4-inch sphere to pass through. Above-ground pools with sides at least 48 inches may use the pool walls as part of the barrier if access is controlled.
Pools without compliant barriers are subject to code enforcement action, fines, and may be ordered to cease use until barriers are installed.
