The 20x40 (the 800's — the 5's; the 18k's), the 5-foot (the 800's — the 20's; the 40's), and the 48-inch (the 54's — the barrier's; the 4's). The pool's — the 20x40's permit.

The pool's requirements

The 20x40 (the 800's — the 5's; the 18k's), the 5-foot (the 20's — the 40's; the 800's), the 18k (the gallons' — the 20's; the 40's), the 48-inch (the 54's — the barrier's; the 4's), the 54-inch (the 48's — the 4's; the barrier's), and the 800 (the 20's — the 40's; the 5's).

Barrier and electrical

The 48-inch (the 4's — the 54's; the barrier's), the 54-inch (the 48's — the 4's; the 4-inch — the sphere), the 4-inch (the sphere's — the 54's; the 48's), the 5-foot (the 20's — the 680's; the bonding), the 680 (the NEC's — the 5's; the 20's), and the 20-foot (the 5's — the 680's; the outlets').

Permits and cost

The $500-$2,000 (the building's — the permit's; the 20's), the $50,000-$120,000+ (the 20x40's — the 800's; the 18k's), the 20x40 (the 5's — the 48's; the 54's), and the 800 (the 18k's — the 20's; the 40's). The 20x40's — the 800's 18k; the 48's — the barrier.

The bottom line

Pools (20x40/800 sq ft/18k gal typical) always need building permits (48-54-in barriers with 4-in sphere, NEC 680 equipotential bonding, 5-ft/20-ft electrical clearances) — budget $50,000-$120,000+ and $500-$2,000 for permits.
