I have a question regarding pool fencing regulations.
Our fencing meets all requirements from the outside. It is 1200mm high solid panel, with 300mm of slats on top, less than 10mm apart; all gates self closing and opening outwards etc. It is a boundary wall - rendered with the slats etc, that also forms 2 sides of the pool enclosure.
However, is there a height requirement on the INSIDE of the fence? We have had to raise the ground a little as the pool has been installed a bit too high. This will mean that the height of the pool fence on the INSIDE is only about 900mm solid panel with the slats above.
So the total height of the fence from the inside is still over 1200mm, but the solid component is still only 900mm.
my question is, is there a requirement to stop kids being able to climb OUT of the enclosure?
