Pet doors
Pet doors and the barrier
A dog door can be a gap in the barrier.
This is an independent referral guide. It connects homeowners with independent providers and may receive compensation. It is not a licensed contractor and it does not do the work.
The rule
Chandler's manual says if a pet door large enough for a 4 inch sphere to pass is in a wall of the house that forms part of the interior barrier, it must be able to be made unusable with a latch young children cannot operate, so the slide cannot be removed.
Options
- A lockable slide
- Moving the pet door to a wall outside the enclosure
- An interior fence around the pool
