16、sumer Product Safety Commission, theNational Center for Injury Prevention and Control, the Ameri-can Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics,and the National Aquatic Coalition, among others.5. Significance and Use5.1 This guide sets forth minimum standard requirementsfor use in local

17、 codes and ordinances relating to non-residentialoutdoor swimming pools, hot tubs, spas, and waters. This guidedoes not have the effect of law, nor is it intended to supersedelocal codes and ordinances of a more restrictive nature.6. Requirements6.1 HeightThe top of the fence to be used around anon-

18、residential outdoor swimming pool, hot tub, spa, or otherwater facility shall be of a height ranging from 48 in. (1.22 m)to 120 in. (3.05 m). The owner or its agents shall select theheight after assessing the potential of intrusion when the poolis closed, taking into consideration the environment lo

19、cation,that is, city, suburban, exurban, or rural; the numbers ofpotential intruders with a likelihood of abilities to scale orpenetrate the fence; will the pool be guarded or patrolled, easeof visibility into the pool area, will the pool area have nightsecurity lighting and will there be an access

20、control securitysystem. For example, a hotel pool that is well lighted andmonitored twenty four hours a day will most likely require a48-in. (1.22-m) high fence, whereas a pool back from a road,not easily visible, not lighted or patrolled, and having no accesscontrol security system will most likely

21、 require the higher120-in. (3.05-m) fence.6.2 VisibilityThe fence shall be so designed and con-structed that it has openness, which allows visibility fromoutside the pool area for patrols, guards, and others to insidethe pool area to identify intruders and trespassers.6.3 Ground ClearanceThe maximum

22、 vertical clearancebetween grade and the bottom of the fence shall be 2 in. (50mm) measured on the side of the fence, which faces away fromthe swimming pool.6.4 Horizontal And Vertical MembersWhere the fence iscomposed of horizontal and vertical members the horizontalmembers shall not extend more th

23、an 0.375 in. (10 mm) outsideof the enclosure. The spacing between vertical members shallbe no greater than 4 in. (102 mm) for fences having twoconsecutive horizontal rails spaced at least 45 in. (1143 mm)apart, measured from the top of one rail to the top of the nextrail. The spacing between vertica

24、l members shall not exceed 134 in. (44 mm) for fence designs having no two consecutivehorizontal members spaced at least 45 in. (1143 mm).6.5 Chain Link FencesMesh opening for chain link fencesshall be 114 in. (32 mm) in compliance with chain link fabricSpecifications A392, A491, F668, and F1345.6.6

25、 Diagonal Members:6.6.1 Where the fence is composed of diagonal members,such as in a lattice fence, any opening created by the diagonalmembers shall be a maximum of 134 in. (44 mm) measured inits largest direction.6.6.2 Diagonal bracing members extending from one cornerto the opposite corner creatin

26、g a ladder effect on all styles offences and gates are not permitted where spacing between thevertical members in any area between posts exceeds 134 in. (44mm).6.7 Structural DesignThe fences shall be structurallydesigned so as to withstand stresses from wind load, ice load orother such environmenta

27、l stresses applicable to the geographicregion in which the fence is installed. The structural design ofthe fence shall comply with local regulations regarding heightor visibility restrictions. Chain link, welded wire and expandedmetal fence framework shall be constructed using frameworkmaterial cite
