During construction
Construction fencing during the build
An open excavation is a hazard. Scottsdale requires a fence around it until the permanent barrier is complete.
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.
The rule
Scottsdale's amendments to the pool code require construction fencing around in-ground pool and spa sites from the time excavation occurs until the permanent barrier is completed. The fencing must be at least 60 inches high.
In practice
- Ask the builder who installs and maintains the fence
- Keep gates closed when crews leave
- Do not remove panels to move furniture
