Owning a pool is fun, but also comes with a lot of responsibility. Not all your guests or neighbours may know how to swim and, if left unprotected, your water body may become a deadly trap for small children and pets as well. For that reason, be smart and consider a swimming pool fence. Before ordering your glass pool fencing, or any type for that matter, check the local pool fence regulations. What may be acceptable in one district may be rejected in another. Knowing the rules is vital, especially if you decide do it yourself. The last thing you want is for your diy pool fence to fail the inspection. A pool safety fence separates the pool from your home and bars all access points to the water. Protective swimming pool fencing also includes a high lock, located on the inside of the gate. All gates must be self-latching and the closing mechanism should be at least 1.5 meters from the ground as per Australian Pool Fencing standard AS1926.
People who do not want to disturb their perfect mountain, ocean, or backyard view may opt to put in glass, frameless pool fencing. In that case, aluminium and stainless steel spigots or clamping systems will support premium, clear, polished and toughened glass panels. These materials can be specifically designed to accommodate your needs, and to fit your pool size and shape. If Frameless Glass Fencing or Semi-Frameless Glass Fencing is not for you then aluminium pool fencing may be the better choice. Depending on the type you choose, all gates can be installed with auto closing hinges and childproof magna latches.
Pool fencing, regardless if manufactured from glass or aluminium, will not only protect your personal liability, but will also help you sleep better at night. Knowing that your family and visiting friends are protected is definitely worth the expense!
