If you have recently installed a swimming pool in your yard, you are probably excited about spending all your time outdoors, soaking up the sun. However, it is easy to overlook the laws surrounding swimming pools in Australia.

One of them main reasons people do not like having a fence around their pool is because it is unattractive, blocks the view of the pool, and makes the pool space feel enclosed.

Unfortunately, Australian law requires that every pool has a security fence around it and that all security measures be taken to ensure the safety of the people around the pool and in the neighborhood. There are many options available for fencing, including wrought iron, wood, aluminum, and glass. While iron and aluminum fences serve their purpose, they tend to block a portion of the view. Wooden fences block your view complete. The best option for security and visibility is a glass fence.

Glass Fencing

Glass fencing is an elegant way to keep people safe from your pool while providing you with the perfect outdoor pool area with a great view of your lawn. These fences are strong, sturdy, and durable. They add sophistication to an otherwise mediocre concept that comes along with fencing. They also prevent your pool space from feeling enclosed and claustrophobic.

Since pool safety is one of the most important things to take into consideration, having a fence is important. Australian law does not only mandate that you have a fence, it also mandates that your fence is at least 1.2 meters tall. The fence must completely surround the pool, start at the ground, and a gate must be present for entering and exiting the area.

Maintaining A Pool Fences

Since a glass fence is made from reinforced glass, they are a great addition to your pool area. They ensure the safety of the pool owner, their children, and children in the neighborhood. With a glass fence, you can allow your older children to swim as you keep an eye on them from indoors. The fence is barely visible so you have a clear view of what is going on inside the fence. Since the glass is reinforced, you can ensure that it will endure minor jolts, shocks, and things your kids knock into it.

Your glass fence is easy to maintain, all you need to do is rub over it with a rag, soap, and water. Gently spray the fence off with a garden hose and it is as good as new.

If one of the glass panels does become broken, it can be easily replaced by an identical Central Coast Pool Fences panel found at your local hardware store. Because of this, your glass fence will last for many years, and provide an elegant touch to your backyard.
