If you want a safer swimming pool, it’s important to know and understand the pool fence requirements in your Ohio community. Installing a pool safety fence helps prevent unauthorized access to your swimming pool when you aren’t around and is instrumental in helping to prevent accidental drownings–the number one killer of children. Pool safety barriers save lives, which is why many jurisdictions, insurance carriers, and HOAs require pool owners to install barriers that meet a threshold of security and safety.
Like many states, Ohio sets the pool fence requirements for public pools and spas in state law. Codified in Chapter 3701 of the Ohio Administrative Code, the law lays out the protections public water attractions must include to protect customers and guests. Ohio private pool laws, however, are enacted at the municipal level by cities, towns, and counties to protect residents at the local level. As you can imagine, this leads to plenty of variance in Ohio pool fence requirements as each governing entity does its best to balance the rights of property owners to build as they see fit against the public’s interest in pool safety, all based on their individual and collective understanding of modern building practices and the latest in water safety research.
What this means for private owners is that it’s vital to reach out to your local building code department to ensure you know and understand the Ohio private pool fence laws their property falls under. It’s also a good idea to contact your insurance carrier, HOA, or any other entity that may have a contractual interest in a swimming pool on the property to make sure there are no further pool fence standards that have to be met. Professional pool installers have the knowledge and experience working with these local jurisdictions to help you make sure you have a safe, compliant swimming pool area.
While there’s no way to cover the private pool fence law in every Ohio jurisdiction, there are some general provisions that you’ll want to know.
Removable mesh pool fencing is your flexible, cost-effective path to meeting your responsibilities under Ohio private pool fence law. Strong, flexible poles are anchored in sleeves sunk into your deck. Between these poles, rip-resistant mesh material stretches taut, providing no handholds for climbing and eliminating the gaps often found in traditional pool fencing. The secure gate can be augmented with locks and alarms for increased security, but when more room is needed for entertaining, the entire structure can be removed in minutes. Easy to maintain, its lower price point than traditional fencing makes it a favorite for Ohio pool owners that need to meet pool fence requirements without breaking the bank.
In some jurisdictions, you may have safety barrier options under your Ohio private pool fence law. These safety barriers still help prevent accidental drowning by preventing unsupervised access to your pool but can be installed either in place of or as a second layer of protection to your swimming pool fence.

Due to the many variations in monitors, phones, and browsers, color samples and product examples may appear different on different screens. Computers and mobile devices are not all calibrated equally and color reproduction on the Internet is not precise. The same is true for printed items such as brochures and other sales literature.
In addition, the colors of our products photograph differently under different lighting conditions. For example, photos taken in full sunlight will vary from photos taken on a cloudy or overcast day. Similarly, shadows from nearby objects can affect the color and transparency of our products. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.
Many of our products’ materials are not available through typical stores and vendors and therefore must be custom manufactured specifically for our use. In order to control costs and provide you with the best value possible, our raw materials are produced in large batches and can often take several months to receive. The colors of our materials can, and often do, vary slightly from batch to batch. Although we make every effort to minimize color variations, we cannot be responsible for these differences when they occur. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.
For example, we use the name “putty” to describe some of our products. Your idea of the color “putty” may be different than someone else’s idea of “putty”. In addition, products may have the same color name but may not be the exact same color. For example, we have different shades of “black”. Please do not order using color names as your only guide. If a precise color or specific shade is important, please inspect the actual color of your product prior to installation.
If it is important that your product be an exact color or shade, it is highly recommended that you inspect the actual product prior to its installation and address any concerns with your local independent installer. Most independent installers do not offer refunds or accept returns due to color variations.
