Pool fence

Swimming pool fences must have a self-closing and self-latching gate/s to be compliant to most countries' laws and codes.

Most countries design, manufacture and install swimming pool fences to the International Code Councils (ICC) guidelines.

On 1 December 2010 legislation was implemented that will see all swimming pool barriers in the state inspected and issued with a compliance certificate by 30 November 2015.
