Most cities now require at least a six foot fence with a lockable gate. Even more and more rural counties are now requiring this also. It is also a good idea to have a fence and gate to keep from having a liable suite from being filed against you incase of one of the local kids drown in it. Good luck. A new national pool code was just signed into law in Dec 2007 called The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act of 2007. The law give the authority over to the Consumer Product Safety Commission ( CPSC ) . The CPSC already has some guidelines in print.
