Hamptons Pool Fence Laws & Requirements

In both East Hampton and Southampton, NY, swimming pools must be enclosed by a fence or wall that complies with New York State Residential Code Section R326. These laws are in place to prevent accidents – especially among young children – and are strictly enforced through local building departments or code enforcement offices.

While both towns follow the same state code, there are key differences in local enforcement and application timelines that residents should understand.

Statewide Code Matches Across the Hamptons:

• Minimum Height: Pool fences must be at least 48 inches tall.
• Climb-Resistant Design: Fences must not allow footholds or climbable horizontal rails.
• Gate Safety: Gates must be self-closing, self-latching, and swing outward. Latches must be at least 40 inches high and child-proof if under 54 inches.
• Spacing Requirements: No opening may exceed 4 inches. Chain link and diagonal designs must meet narrow mesh standards.
• Spa/Hot Tub Exception: No barrier is required only if the spa is covered with a certified ASTM F1346 safety cover.
• Pool Alarm Rule: Pools must include alarms that meet ASTM F2208, sounding both poolside and indoors.

Key Differences in Local Application:

• Southampton: Enforces a 90-day window to install permanent barriers post-permit. Temporary barriers are clearly defined and regulated during construction.
• East Hampton: Does not specify rigid construction timelines. Enforcement is managed through the Code Enforcement Department, often involving inspections, community education, and response to public complaints.
• Violation Process: In East Hampton, violations are handled more leniently at first (education-based), while Southampton emphasizes building department compliance from the start.
• Anonymous Complaints: East Hampton allows for anonymous complaints but prefers contact details for follow-up. Southampton code emphasizes documented permit compliance directly.
