Doors to the pool area
Mesa allows the house to be part of the barrier, with specific rules for each door.
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.
Swinging doors
Doors from the house to the pool must swing away from the pool area and be self closing with a self latching device at least 54 inches above the floor.
Sliding and multi panel doors
Sliding doors cannot be part of the barrier unless specifically approved with self closing and self latching mechanisms. Multi panel doors must be fastened in place with a tool to remove, or have approved safety hardware if they are the only exits.
Garage and pet doors
Garage service doors to the pool area must self close with a latch at least 54 inches above the bottom of the door. The brochure says pet doors are not allowed in the barrier wall.
