Climbable pool barriers

The pool barrier itself may be climbable and provide foot or hand holds for a child to access the pool area, such as:

• an intersecting fence with horizontal cross rails within reach of the top of the pool barrier
• lattice or another climbable material on the pool barrier
• climbable vegetation.

To comply:

• fix a wedge fillet (minimum 60-degree angle) along the barrier’s horizontal rails
• shield any lattice or other climbable material with non-climbable material, such as flat polycarbonate sheeting or vertical palings
• trim any climbable vegetation on the barrier.
