Do It Right: Backyard Pools
Thinking about getting a pool this summer? Owning a pool is terrific—but it comes with responsibilities. By-law 4008 requires every outdoor swimming pool that is capable of holding water deeper than 24 inches or is greater than 22 sq. ft. to be enclosed by
a fence.
A permit for a swimming pool enclosure must be obtained before the pool is installed. Remember to investigate the cost of proper fencing/enclosure before purchasing any pool—including softsided and inflatable models. Learn more at www.tillsonburg.ca/pools.
Do It Right: Decks, Fences and Sheds
If you’re still planning to take on a summer building project be sure to check out the resources available on the Town’s website before you begin.
Doing It Right Guides are available for:
- Decks
- Detached Garages
- Fences
- New House or Addition
- Pools
- Sheds
