Pool barriers are required under the Oregon Residential Specialty Code (ORSC Appendix G). Barriers must be at least 42 inches high with self-closing, self-latching gates. Vertical spacing between fence members must not exceed 1.75 inches when horizontal members are less than 45 inches apart.
OAR 333-060-0105 requires pool enclosure gates to swing outward from the pool. Self-latching device controls must be at least 42 inches above the exterior ground surface. Pool barrier fences are subject to building permit requirements regardless of height. A barrier is defined as a fence, wall, building wall, or combination that completely surrounds the pool.
Non-compliant barriers: immediate correction. Fines $100 to $500. Significant liability for drowning incidents.
