Glass fencing has swiftly become the preferred option for securing pools across the country, valued for offering unobstructed views and adding a stylish look to these areas. Large clear glass panels are typically supported by metal frames or clamps that hold the entire installation in place.

Glass Pool Fencing Styles

There are two styles of glass pool fencing:

• Semi Frameless Glass Pool Fencing – this style has panels supported by posts and channels which frame and support the glass.
  

• Frameless Glass Pool Fencing – this style is supported by low profile spigots or clamps at ground level and offers the cleanest look.

Glass pool fencing is installed in a number of different ways. Support posts or spigots are core drilled into the surface or channels can be base plated onto a surface.

Glass Pool Fencing Materials

All glass used for pool fencing should be toughened safety glass, with a variety of thicknesses available (8mm, 10mm &12mm). Fittings, including the posts, clamps/spigots and the gate mechanism are typically manufactured from high-grade premium quality/marine grade stainless steel or powder coated aluminium. This is to ensure the extended durability of these elements outdoors.

Pool Safety

Child safety around pools should be a primary concern when you install a pool. Your local council can detail exactly what your obligations and responsibilities are as a pool owner. There are specific regulations around restricting access to the pool area including the height of the fence, gates self-closing/locking and ongoing maintenance of the entire installation.

How Much Does Glass Pool Fencing Cost?

Glass pool fencing is typically a more expensive option than more traditional materials such as timber or steel. Glass pool fence installers will typically quote you on a per lineal metre basis, with the installation charge based on the scope of works. Expect the frameless glass style of pool fencing to cost more than semi-frameless.
