Does an above ground pool require a fence in Saint Marys?
Step 3: Inspections – Safety Barrier and Electrical Service
Safety Barrier – To pass inspection your pool must be surrounded by a minimum 48” high enclosure. An above ground pool may serve, as its own enclosure providing the pool is equipped with a fold-up or removable steps or ladder. If a fence or deck rail is used to provide the minimum 48” high enclosure it must comply with the dimensional criteria described in the St. Mary’s County Building Code (IRC 2009) Appendix G, Swimming

Thanks, makes me wonder if they even got a permit. We have a window licker that loves to sleep in the street as her helmet wearing mom just stares at her rag mag. They live across the street from this new portable pool. I could see the child trying to swim and drown.

I don't think the fencing requirement applies to those Intek inflatable pools since they are portable.
