Glass pool fencing is a popular option for those looking to add a modern and sleek look to their pool area while still providing safety and support. Glass pool fencing is made of tempered glass, which is stronger and more durable than regular glass, making them a safe option for use around swimming pools.
In New South Wales, pool fencing is regulated by the Swimming Pools Act 1992 and the Swimming Pools Regulation 2008. These regulations set out strict standards for pool fencing in order to ensure the safety of children and other vulnerable people.
According to the regulations, all swimming pools in New South Wales must be surrounded by a child-resistant barrier that separates the pool from the residence and any adjacent property. The barrier must be at least 1200mm high and must not have any climbable objects within 900mm of the top of the barrier.
Glass pool fencing must also comply with the Australian Standard AS1926.1-2012 which specifies the design, construction and performance requirements for pool fences. This standard requires that the glass must be at least 12mm thick and that the gaps between the panels of glass must be no more than 100mm.
Additionally, the standard requires that all glass pool fencing must have a safety gate that is self-closing and self-latching, and that the gate must be at least 1200mm high.
Glass pool fencing is a popular and safe option for those looking to add a modern and sleek look to their pool area while still providing safety and support.
