I want to get one of those blue pools with the inflatable top ring, but i want the smaller one, approx. 30" tall and 10-12' across. By law, does this require a fence? I know alot of people have the larger pools without fences, but is it legal?

They may not be required by law, but its a safety feature. How would you feel if a small child wandered into your yard and drowned in the pool because it wasn't fenced? It could all happen in as little as three minutes.

New York state requires a four foot high fence around ANY above ground pool less than 48 inches deep. 48"and deeper you must have a lift-up ladder secured with a padlock in the up position. Pool fences must have a self closing and self locking gate.

The Blow Up inflatable ring pools do not really need a fence however you should really check with your local code enforcement on that law since it varies city by city. We have on here in Port St Lucie, FL and do NOT need a fence but in Palm Beach County, FL you DO need one for those types of pools.

I believe laws only refer to permenant structures. for those pools, any size requires fencing, even a small decorative pond. kids are dumb are will drown in the smallest pool of water.
just to be safe, call your local building department. depending on where you live that might be city or county, check the phone book.
hopefully someone in the Yahoo community works for such a department.

I think most cities require a fence around the pool.
Prevents kids from falling in.
Check with your local police department or town hall.
Be safe and do it anyways.
Better safe than sorry.

Check your local code and your home owner's insurance. These two sources will tell you best, especially the latter.
Regulations vary from state to state, county to county, and city to city. But in general any water in a permanent or semi-permanent structure that contains water over 1' deep should be fenced according to water facility codes.

reverse phone number search compiles hundreds of millions of phone book records to help locate the owner's name, location, time zone, email and other public information.
Use a reverse phone lookup to:
Get the identity of an unknown caller.
Identify an area code.
Recall the name of a person whose number you wrote down.
Identify an unfamiliar phone number that shows up on your bill.

it depends on your insurance policy and local regulations. our rural area doesn't require a fence or gate but a local town does. our insurance won't cover us though with out a locked gate. that way you would have to be trespassing and we wouldn't be liable. check around locally

Who cares about the law? You have a moral obligation to put up that fence, with a lock, to keep children and pets from getting in and drowning in your pool.

This varies by County. Check with your local authorities.
