RE: FENCE POOL CODE INTERPRETATIONS – 4” SPHERE
TREASURE COAST, FLORIDA
A county inspector has failed an aluminum pool fence with 3 7/8” spacing between pickets. The fence is a commercial grade, 6’ high with (3) horizontals. (2) at the top and (1) at the bottom with ¾” pickets.
The code he is calling us out on is that the 4” sphere can be pushed (forced) through. The code reads “openings in barrier shall not allow passage of a 4” diameter sphere”.
I have installed thousands of fences over the last 25 years in business and have never had this issue.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
