Jaydeez Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 We are loooking to have an in ground pool built in our back garden. The pool will be about 7m x 3m or therabouts. Our garden is completely surrounded by 10 foot high walls on three sides. They are either garden walls or gable ends of houses. The only access into the garden is by a door off the barn or a gate from the drive(the fourth side) Can anyone tell me whether we would have to have fencing around the pool or is the fact that it is totally enclosed and the door and gate locked sufficeint? Regards.Jaydeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Jaydeez ...........As I understand the law, any pool has to be protected not just from 'outsiders', but also any child venturing in to danger from your own house.Unless I've misunderstood, what you describe would comply, provided that there are no doors in the gable ends and the gate is at least 1.24m high (and kept locked of course).I seem to recall someone saying that the gendarmerie have the invidious task of policing this law: maybe an invitation to them to drop by and confirm that they're happy?
