Vienna swimming pools follow the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (13VAC5-63), which adopts the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code §305 and IRC Appendix AG105 for residential pool barriers.
Pool fencing in Vienna is regulated through the VUSBC (13VAC5-63), enforced locally by Fairfax County's building department on Vienna's behalf. The code adopts ISPSC §305 and IRC AG105, which require a barrier at least 48 inches high measured on the side facing away from the pool. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching, with the release mechanism located at least 54 inches above the ground when below the gate top. Maximum vertical clearance between the ground and the bottom of the barrier is 2 inches over solid surfaces and 4 inches over grass or gravel. Va. Code §15.2-921 authorizes localities to require pool fencing, and the VUSBC sets the statewide minimum standard.
Failure to install or maintain a compliant barrier is a building code violation under VUSBC §13VAC5-63, subject to stop-work orders, fines, and required corrective action by the Fairfax County Building Official.
