Gates
Phoenix pool gate rules
Gates have their own list in the Phoenix handout.
This is an independent referral guide. It connects homeowners with independent providers and may receive compensation. It is not a licensed contractor and it does not do the work.
The list
- Self closing and self latching, able to take a lock
- Swing outward from the pool area
- Latch at least 54 inches above the ground
- Built to the same standard as the fence
Wide gates
Phoenix says non pedestrian gates over 4 feet wide, such as vehicle double gates, must meet amended ISPSC section 305.3.2.
State law
Arizona's statute also allows a gate secured by a padlock or similar keyed or combination device, with the latch at any height.

Ask about your Ahwatukee yard
Say the neighborhood or ZIP code, the yard size, and whether the lot slopes or backs onto open desert.
