Do you have to have a fence around your above ground pool in nc?

Yes. In 2006 there was a code adopted requiring Fencing around your yard if you have a pool in your yard. In 2009 the Virginia Graeme Baker Law was adopted. It requires alarms on doors and Windows, or a power cover, or another means as safe as the first two(subject to local approval). Go to www.safekidscharmeck.org to see codes.
