Frameless Glass
Toughened glass panels held by spigots give a clear view of the water.
This is the choice when you want to watch the pool from the house.

Pool Fencing Installation in Wagga Wagga
Pool fencing installation in Wagga Wagga is a safety job first and a design job second. NSW law requires a compliant barrier around most backyard pools and spas.
We build glass and aluminium barriers to the required heights and gaps, fit gates that close and latch by themselves, and keep climbable objects out of the clear zone.
Tell us about your pool and we will measure the barrier line and quote it in writing.
- Built to the pool barrier standard
- Self-closing gates
- Glass or aluminium

Barrier types
Pool Fence Types We Install
Semi-Frameless Glass
Glass panels sit between slim posts for a lower-cost glass look.
The posts add a little visual structure to the line.
Aluminium Tubular
Powder-coated aluminium bars are tough, light and good value.
The bar spacing is set so a child cannot squeeze through.
Pool Gates and Latches
Gates must swing away from the pool and close and latch by themselves.
We set latch heights to the standard and test the gate from every open position.
Layouts
Pool Barrier Layouts
Full Perimeter
The barrier runs right around the pool, separating it from the house and the yard.
Boundary Fence as Barrier
Part of a boundary fence can form the barrier if it meets the height and climb rules on the pool side.
Glass Facing the House
Glass faces the living area for a view, with aluminium on the far sides to save cost.
Spa and Plunge Pools
Small pools and spas holding enough water still need a compliant barrier or an approved lockable cover.
Materials
Pool Fence Materials and Hardware
Pool barriers sit in sun, chlorine and splash. Materials need to handle all three.
| Option | Characteristics | Typical applications | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toughened safety glass | Clear panels with a tough, safe break pattern. | Frameless and semi-frameless barriers. | Glass shows water spots, so plan for regular cleaning. |
| Stainless or coated spigots | Hold the glass from below. | Fixed into concrete or decking. | Pool water and cleaning products can mark cheaper metal, so grade matters. |
| Powder-coated aluminium | Light frames that will not rust. | Tubular fences and gates. | Scratches through the coating should be touched up to keep the finish neat. |
| Soft-close hinges and latches | Spring hinges and magnetic latches. | Every pool gate. | Springs lose tension with use, so test the gate each month. |
Rules
Pool Barrier Requirements in NSW
These are the main points we build to. Your certifier makes the final call.
Minimum Height
The barrier must be at least 1200 mm high, measured from finished ground on the outside.
Gaps
The gap under the barrier and between vertical bars is limited so a child cannot fit through.
Non-Climbable Zone
Pot plants, chairs, trees and ledges must be kept clear of the area that helps a child climb over.
Registration and Certificates
Pools must be on the NSW Swimming Pool Register, and a compliance certificate is needed to sell or lease.
Install steps
Our Pool Fence Installation Process
- 1
Site Check
We look at the pool, paving, ground levels and anything that could be climbed.
- 2
Layout and Gate Position
We mark the barrier line and pick a gate spot that swings away from the water.
- 3
Fix Posts or Spigots
Posts or spigots are core-drilled or concreted to the right depth.
- 4
Fit Panels and Gate
Glass or aluminium panels go in, then the gate, hinges and latch.
- 5
Measure and Test
We check heights and gaps with a tape and test the gate from every angle.
Workmanship
Details We Check on Every Pool Fence
A pool fence that looks good but fails a gap test is no good to anyone.
Ground Clearance
We measure the gap under every panel against finished ground, not just the paving.
Gate Swing
The gate must close from any position, so we test it from fully open.
Boundary Fence Side
We check the neighbour side when a boundary fence forms part of the barrier.
Handover Notes
We show you how to test the gate and what to keep clear of the fence.

What Affects Pool Fence Cost
Glass costs more than aluminium, and frameless glass costs more than semi-frameless.
| Aluminium tubular | Usually the most budget-friendly barrier |
|---|---|
| Semi-frameless glass | Glass look with posts to cut cost |
| Frameless glass | The clearest view and the highest material cost |
Fixing into existing paving or decking also changes the method and the time on site.

Pool Fencing FAQ
How high does a pool fence need to be in NSW?
A pool barrier must be at least 1200 mm high from finished ground level, with limits on gaps and a clear non-climbable zone. Your certifier checks the final barrier against the current rules.
Do you issue pool compliance certificates?
No. We build the barrier to the standard. A council officer or accredited certifier inspects it and issues the certificate.
Can my boundary fence be part of the pool barrier?
Sometimes. It must be at least the required height on the pool side and have nothing a child could use to climb. We check this on the measure.
Glass or aluminium for a pool fence?
Glass gives a clear view and a modern look. Aluminium costs less and is easy to maintain. Both can meet the standard.
How often should I check my pool gate?
Test it often. Open it to different points and let go. It should swing shut and latch every time. Call us if it does not.
Do spas need a fence?
Many spas need a barrier or an approved lockable lid. Check the rules for your spa before relying on a cover.

Pool safety
Keeping a Pool Barrier Safe After Install
A barrier is only safe while it stays complete. Check the gate, the latch and the gaps under panels regularly.
Move chairs, eskies, pot plants and toys away from the fence. Kids climb what they can reach.
Trim trees and shrubs that grow near the barrier. Branches can become a ladder within a season.
We will not prop a pool gate open during the job without a person watching it, and we will not leave a site with the barrier incomplete around a filled pool.
