That said, in New York State, it's required for all swimming pools to be enclosed within a fence or other barrier. The term “swimming pool” means any structure intended for swimming, recreational bathing, or wading that contains or is designed to contain water over 24 inches deep.
Fences exceeding 6 feet require a permit and solid fencing exceeding 6 feet requires engineering.
It is not common for HOA's to completely deny pool installations, but a lot do restrict what you can and cannot get. Most commonly HOA's will allow fully in-ground pool installations and restrict other pool types on the property. Spas, however, fall into a different category, and that will be discussed later.
A swimming pool permit is required for all pools including storable or inflatable pools unless: - the pool is less than 24 inches deep and - does not exceed 5,000 gallons and - is installed entirely above ground.
If my entire property is fenced, does the pool need a separate fence? Swimming pools do not necessarily need a barrier close to the water. If your pool is located in a fenced backyard, or other large fenced area, and that fence meets the legal requirements, you might not need an additional barrier closer to the pool.
Yes, you can put an above-ground pool in your backyard, but there are several factors to consider: Space and Size: Ensure you have enough space in your yard for the pool. Measure the area to confirm it can accommodate the pool size you want. Local Regulations: Check local building codes and regulations regarding pools.
