If you have pool fencing that doesn’t comply with the laws, children below the age of 5 could accidentally drown in your pool.

If there’s any damage to your pool fence, repair it immediately. If a part of the pool fence is missing, replace it. If a small part of the pool fence is damaged (e.g. latches, hinges or palings need replacing), you may repair it to the same standard as the existing fence. If you’re going to sell or lease the property, however, the fence should comply with the current standard.
