Pool Barrier Guidelines

Windows That Open Into The Pool Area

Scenario 1:

Window Restricter Fitted

  • Window restrictor fitted so that the window can only open to 100mm

Scenario 2:

Window 1000mm from ground

  • The window is more than 1000mm from the floor, inside the building.
  • Nothing that can be used as a foot hold to climb over (See projections)

Scenario 3:

Permanently Fixed Screen 

  • If the window is less than a meter from the ground, and a restrictor cannot be used, a permanently fixed screen can be fitted over the opening. This cannot have any gaps of more than 100mm
