Swimming Pols and Spas - Pool Gates
Pool gates
- Gates must be self-closing and self-latching and must be closed at all times.
- Gates to open outwards from the pool area.
- No double gates are permitted.
- Latch release mechanism to be 1.5-metres above the ground except where a shield is used. If a shield is used the latch is positioned on the pool side near the top of the gate. The shield makes it necessary to reach over the gate to release the latch mechanism.
- Gate width is to be kept to a minimum (no more than 1-metre) to minimise the possibility of the weight of the gate causing the gate to drop with the self-latching mechanism failing.
