    How are other jurisdictions looking at deck gates where the deck is up against a 54″ above ground pool? when gate is at top of steps what are you requiring as far as swing, latch, heights ,etc…

    self closing of course.

    It is my opinion that the required gate shall be located at the bottom of the steps in accordance to 305.5 Item 2. “step shall be surrounded by a barrier that meets the requirements of this section.”

    Does that section 305.5 item 2 refer to ladders and steps directly accessing pool. putting gate at bottom of steps creates a problem for step rails meeting 4′ barrier requirements.
