Howdy neighbors, this is my first post so please be gentle with me!
I am trying to figure out the building code for a swimming pool in Hawaii (Puna), especially the safety part of it. I'm sorry I don't have a link but I hoped someone out there had experience with this.
As far as I can understand it, I have to have a fence all around the pool. Alternatively, I can have a fence on three sides and use the house as the 4th side, but then I need to have alarms on all the doors.
Alternatively again, I can just get a mechanical pool cover and I won't need any fences or alarms!
Can someone tell me how mistaken I am? Has the code changed recently? I have contacted the Planning people but their responses are ambiguous and I'm getting them from a third party.
Thank you!
