Universal City pools over 24 inches deep require a 48-inch-minimum barrier with self-closing, self-latching gates meeting IRC Appendix G standards.
Swimming pools and spas in Universal City that hold water more than 24 inches deep must be enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches high, measured on the side facing away from the pool, following International Residential Code Appendix G. Gates in the barrier must swing away from the pool and be self-closing and self-latching, with the release mechanism at least 54 inches above grade. Openings in the barrier must not allow a 4-inch sphere to pass through, and horizontal members close together must be placed on the pool side. When a wall of a dwelling forms part of the barrier, doors leading to the pool must have an alarm or the pool must have a powered safety cover meeting ASTM F1346. Final inspection verifies compliance before the pool can be filled.
