Residents increasingly request improved security control of their environment in conjunction with active lifestyle amenities such as swimming pools. This course explores how these two issues relate regarding outdoor swimming areas. It provides an overview of the primary pool enclosure and access hardware code requirements, the requirement variations between jurisdictions, and criteria for choosing the appropriate hardware. Also featured are examples of typical pool gate and door access hardware sets.

Name: Rick Nemec
Title: Architectural Consultant, Pamex
Background:
I was raised in South Dakota and currently live in Wisconsin. I’m married, with four children and six grandchildren.
I am passionate about the built environment. Throughout my career, I have been especially focused on the openings within structures: doors and windows. Where would we be without a way to move through and look out of our offices and homes?
I bring a vast amount of knowledge and experience regarding openings to any project I am associated with. I am familiar with the codes and standards, and if I don’t know the answer, I know where to find the information or who to reach out to. I am authorized to perform third-party fire door assembly inspections for property owners and managers as mandated by the NFPA 80 and NFPA 101 standards and referenced in the International Fire Code® and International Building Code®.
My goal is to be a valued team member to my clients—someone they can rely on to assist them with meeting their goals and the goals of their clients.
