Pool safety and STR’s
Our pool is about to be done here in FL. Want to make sure we have all the boxes checked safety wise before we open it up this season. A few questions.
Are you using alarms on your doors that lead outside to the pool? If so, which type and are they reliable/durable?
What about locks on fences or gates outside that lead to back yard with pool? Do you have a recommendation for a keypad type for a wooden gate?
What signage should we post outside? I looked for FL requirements on rentals but it isn’t clear.
Any info you have pertinent to this would be helpful. Thanks!

Most local codes will require you to have: 1) alarms on any doors that open into the pool area, 2) yard or pool area must have 5 ft fence, 3) gates must be self closing and open outwards, check local regs for other requirements.
They should not pass you on final inspection until you have all these in place....
