The requirements for a pool with a storage room can vary depending on local building codes and regulations. However, some common requirements may include:
1. Building permits: You may need to obtain a building permit before constructing the pool and storage room. Contact your local building department for specific requirements and to determine if any permits are necessary.
2. Property setbacks: There may be regulations regarding how close the pool and storage room can be to property lines or other structures. Ensure that you comply with the required setbacks.
3. Pool design and safety: The pool should be designed and constructed in compliance with local safety regulations. This may include requirements for fencing, gates, self-closing or self-latching doors, pool alarms, and anti-entrapment drain covers.
4. Storage room size and location: The size and location of the storage room should adhere to local zoning regulations. These regulations may specify the maximum square footage or height of the room and its distance from property lines or other structures.
5. Ventilation and electrical requirements: Storage rooms should have proper ventilation for any contents that may produce fumes or odors. Electrical wiring should be installed according to local codes and regulations.
6. Plumbing and drainage: If the storage room contains any plumbing fixtures, such as sinks or toilets, proper plumbing installation should be ensured. Adequate drainage, either through connection to the existing drainage system or installation of a separate one, may also be necessary.
7. Access and safety measures: Consider implementing safety measures such as proper lighting, secure locks, and non-slip flooring in the storage room. Additionally, ensure that there is accessible and clear access to the storage room without obstructing the pool area.
Remember, these requirements can vary significantly depending on your location. It is advisable to consult with a local architect, contractor, or building department to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations.
