Pembroke Pines requires pool fences at least 4 feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates per Florida Building Code. Pool fence installation requires a building permit.
Florida Building Code and Pembroke Pines require all 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 high enough to prevent small children from reaching them. Openings must not allow passage of a 4-inch sphere. Installing or replacing a pool fence requires a building permit to ensure inspection and city approval. Doors from the house providing direct pool access must have self-closing devices and audible alarms. Screen enclosures may serve as pool barriers if they meet height and gate requirements.
Non-compliant pool barriers fail inspections. Existing non-compliant pools may receive code enforcement orders to install proper barriers.
