Pools in Rohnert Park must be enclosed under the California Building Code and Swimming Pool Safety Act: a barrier at least 60 inches (5 feet) high with self-closing, self-latching gates, plus at least one additional drowning-prevention feature.
Pool fencing in Rohnert Park is dictated by state law — the California Building Code and the Swimming Pool Safety Act (Health & Safety Code §115920 and following). The enclosure must stand at least 60 inches (5 feet) high, with gates that are self-closing and self-latching so the barrier works even when someone forgets to shut it. State law also requires at least one additional drowning-prevention feature beyond the fence, such as a safety cover, pool alarm or alarmed door. These requirements are checked at permitting and inspection, and they're the ones that save lives — build to them, not around them.
