Description
This determination considers whether a section of a residential pool barrier complies with section 162C of the Building Act 2004.
In making this decision, the determination will consider the gaps in the metal fencing that forms part of the barrier as well as the hedging planted on the outside.
Decision:
It was concluded that the metal fence on the southern section of the owners' pool barrier does not comply with section 162C of the Act by way of any of the three pathways discussed:
- the criteria under section 162C(2)(b) are not met
- it does not comply with the FOSPA Schedule
- it does not comply with the current Building Code clause F9.
