§ 405-9. Fences.

A. 

All swimming pools, as defined by this chapter, shall be enclosed by a substantial fence no less than 48 inches in height nor more than 72 inches in height, so constructed as to prevent any person from gaining access beneath or through said fence, and which shall have a similarly substantial gate of the same height as the fence with facilities for locking said gate when the pool is unguarded. Said gate shall be closed at all times, except when open for the purpose of ingress or egress. When said swimming pool is unguarded or unattended, said gate shall be kept locked. No portion of such fence shall be installed less than four feet nor more than 30 feet from the corresponding extremity of the pool enclosed thereby.

B. 

For the safety and welfare of all persons in the Borough of Bellmawr, swimming pool fencing shall be erected pursuant to this chapter surrounding all and any swimming pools constructed or installed heretofore and hereafter. For the purpose of conformance, all swimming pools shall have fencing after one month of passage of this chapter.
