kiddie pools don't belong in common areas, property that you own, Yes.. The pool question is something you need to ask your insurance agent or read your policy. especially the exclusions page.

Thank you I was thinking I should ask the insurance agent. Now I will.

Good idea, Michelle. Are you on the board?
With LetA, I don't think residents' inflatable pools should be allowed on the common areas. I thin the HOA would be liable if something bad happened.

The question about back decks is worthy of ignoring until the OP indicates who owns the back decks.

Well, Michelle, does your HOA have rules about keeping personal items out of the common areas like personal furniture, plants, toys, wheeled devices (we're a high rise), etc. etc. We have such a rule and I think they're pretty common.
Inflatable pools do come in many sizes and unless tiny are often used by adults, so there's no discrimination against kids if not permitted.

I discussed with insurance agent. He said any inflatable pool put anywhere on property is an insurance risk for cancellation if an issue happens. it is not in our policy but that is what he said.
My state says anything holding water and is considered a pool must follow the state rules for pools if 2 feet or more of water.
I know what we will do.. I am the proactive one. The reactive to this one could lead to death to a minor coming on property and drowning in two feet of water. That is my conclusion. lot of deaths happen with kiddie pools. I researched it.
In our rules it says nothing on common area and the limited common the board can have a say. Limited they have the ability to use the area they dont own it.

From what you say, in CT shallower then 2 feet deep is not considered a pool at all? Seems that way. If so, not an insurance issue.

As others have said, pools and any other personal items don't belong in common areas. Kiddy pools on decks does not sound like an issue unless the HOA is responsible for maintaining the decks. The best thing to do is check with your insurance agent.
