GENERAL APPROVAL – Renewal- Guardian Pool Fence System with Permanent Mounting.

DETAILS:

GENERAL APPROVAL – Renewal and Clerical Modification – Guardian Pool Fence System
with Permanent Mounting.

DETAILS:
The Guardian Pool Fence System for use as a safety barrier for swimming pools is a fixed 5 feet
tall fencing system using a polyester mesh material. The system is fixed by securing the fence
poles spaced a maximum of 30″ o.c. for the Original Pool Fence, 30″ or 36″ o.c. for the Premier Pool Fencing.

The Original Pool Fencing utilizes poles which are constructed of T6 marine grade aluminum
that are internally reinforced with a tri-core design. The poles are inserted into a High Density
Polyethylene (HDPE) and or nylon &  glass locking sleeve anchored to the aluminum poles with
two stainless steel screws. The locking sleeve is installed into the deck using a l-ll4-inch
diameter hole and a minimum 4″ inch embedment using an adhesive as recommended by
Guardian Pool Fence Systems, Inc.

on the fence.

The approval is subject to the following conditions:
1. Fencing shall only be used with a permanent mounting device as shown on the attached detail.
2. Fencing shall be permanently installed and shall not be moved. Moveable fencing used to meet the private swimming pool barrier requirements is not allowed as it is a violation of permanent barrier requirements specified in section 91.3109.4.1 of the Los Angeles City Municipal Code.

DISCUSSION
The report is in conformance with the 2011 Los Angeles City Building Code. To unlatch the gate a lift knob located at the top most of the gate has to be lifted to release the Magna Latch.

Approval is based on testing in accordance with ASTM F 2286 and by demonstrating that the pool enclosure can be installed in a permanent manner. This general approval of an equivalent alternate to the Code is only valid where an engineer and/or inspector of this Department has determined that all conditions of this Approval have been met in the project in which it is to be used.

Addressee to whom this Research Report is issued is responsible for providing copies of it, complete with any attachments indicated. to architects, engineers and builders using items approved herein in design or construction which must be approved by Department of Building and Safety Engineers and Inspect
