Philadelphia Pool Covers, Nets and Fences

Philadelphia the city of brotherly love. It’s one of the oldest cities in the nation, full of rich architecture and interesting landmarks, and with variable snowfall in the winter, it can be a bit difficult to get to see everything. But as temperatures rise, it can be wonderful to do more exploring around the city, as well as stay near to home and perhaps go swimming! But if you happen to have a private pool at your home, there are things that you need to consider for your safety, and the safety of those in your family.

The city of Philadelphia defines a swimming pool as a pool with a depth of 24 inches or greater, and whether it is constructed or just placed somewhere it needs to follow a few different regulations. The pool needs to be within an enclosure that can be locked, and the enclosure needs to be at least 4 feet high so that children cannot access the pool when it’s not in use. However, if an enclosure isn’t erected, a private resident can also use a pool cover, an enclosure, or another protective device that is approved by the Philadelphia Building Code.

Remember that although these were the laws listed for the City of Philadelphia, city residents also need to comply with county and state laws. For example, the state of Pennsylvania may have another set of rules, but since building codes are enforced locally, it would be helpful to check with the city and make sure that you are also respecting state laws with regards to your residential pool.

Despite regulations on a city, county, and state-level doing the best they can to promote safety for its residents, sometimes the law doesn’t cover everything. For example, the City of Philadelphia suggests that either a fence is built around the private pool or a pool cover is used, yet they don’t specify which pool cover would be the best. Katchakid is a company that specializes in pool safety nets. We have decades of experience in manufacturing pool safety nets that work and will stand the test of time. When the net is properly installed, and a child were to accidentally fall into the pool, they would be held secure by the net’s strength and tension, and it would support them until someone came to retrieve them. So make sure that if you want to comply with Philadelphia pool safety law, you use the best products to do so, including investing in Katchakid pool safety products.

Enjoy your summer in Philadelphia, and remember to keep up-to-date about city laws so that you can better protect you and your family. When it comes to pool safety, contact us today to learn more about our pool fences, covers and safety nets.
