Simpsonville's Zoning Ordinance requires all non-portable pools deeper than 24 inches to be enclosed by a fence, wall, or combination not less than four feet high, with self-latching gates that stay locked when the pool is not in use.
Zoning Ordinance sec. 3.3.13 (Swimming Pool or Hot Tub) sets the barrier standard: any non-portable pool over 24 inches deep must be enclosed by a fence or wall at least four feet high. All gate or door openings into the enclosure must be equipped with self-latching devices and be securely locked when the enclosed area is not in use. The adopted International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (sec. 8-41) adds detailed barrier construction standards. Freestanding fences may be up to seven feet in side/rear yards under sec. 3.3.6.
Failure to provide a compliant barrier is a zoning violation; the pool inspection will fail and the city can withhold approval and cite the property owner.
