Sanger requires pool barriers at least 60 inches tall under California Health and Safety Code 115920. Gates must be self-closing, self-latching, and open outward from the pool.
The City of Sanger enforces California Health and Safety Code 115920 through 115929, which mandates safety barriers for all residential swimming pools. Barriers must be at least 60 inches in height with no gaps or openings that would allow a sphere larger than 4 inches in diameter to pass through. Gates must be self-closing, self-latching, and the latch must be positioned at least 54 inches above grade on the side facing the pool. If a wall of the dwelling serves as part of the barrier, all doors providing direct access to the pool must be equipped with self-closing devices plus at least one of the following: a pool cover meeting ASTM F1346, a pool alarm meeting ASTM E2017, or door alarms. The Sanger Building Division reviews pool barrier plans as part of the swimming pool building permit process. Existing pools that are altered or undergo a change of property ownership may be subject to updated barrier requirements at the discretion of the building official. Fresno County Environmental Health also inspects pool safety features.
Failure to maintain a compliant pool barrier may result in a stop-work order on new construction or a code enforcement citation. The building official may withhold final inspection approval until barriers meet state standards. Fines for code violations in Sanger typically start at $100 and escalate for repeat offenses. Property owners may also face civil liability for injuries resulting from inadequate pool barriers.
