Swimming pools in Spanish Fork must be completely surrounded by a fence or wall at least 6 feet high. Pool fences must have openings no larger than 36 square inches (except gates), with self-closing and self-latching gates.
Spanish Fork Municipal Code §15.4.16.130 requires that any swimming pool not completely enclosed within a building must maintain a minimum 6-foot setback from side or rear property lines and be completely surrounded by a fence or wall at least 6 feet high. Openings in the fence or wall cannot exceed 36 square inches except for gates. All gates must be equipped with self-closing and self-latching devices. These requirements align with International Building Code (IBC) pool barrier standards and are designed to prevent unsupervised child access (anti-entrapment). Building permits are required for pool construction.
Pool without required fence is a code violation; permit may be revoked; city may require fence installation before pool use
