Pool Barrier Code (Arizona)
The state and municipal requirements for a 5-ft pool barrier with self-closing, self-latching gates — required on every Arizona residential pool.
Arizona Pool Safety Act requires a non-climbable 5-ft barrier (fence, wall, or house wall with alarmed doors) around every residential pool. Specific requirements: gates must self-close and self-latch from inside, gaps under 4 inches, no horizontal foot-holds within 45 inches of grade. Inspectors enforce strictly.
