Pool Fencing — Buying Guide for Australian Homeowners

Australian Pool Fencing Regulations

Pool fencing in Australia is governed by AS 1926.1 and individual state and territory regulations. All pool fencing must be installed to a minimum height of 1200mm (measured from the finished ground level on the outside of the fence), with a non-climbable zone (NCZ) of 900mm on the outside of the fence. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching, opening away from the pool. Always check your state and local council requirements before purchasing and installing pool fencing.

Types of Pool Fencing We Supply

  • Aluminium pool fencing panels — durable, powder coated aluminium panels in a range of styles including tubular and blade designs
  • Pool fence posts — matching aluminium posts designed for secure footing in concrete or through-decking
  • Pool gates — self-closing, self-latching aluminium gates to complete the compliant enclosure
  • Gate hardware — hinges, latches, springs and accessories for maintaining gate compliance

Choosing the Right Pool Fence

Consider the height of your pool fence (minimum 1200mm), the spacing between vertical bars (maximum 100mm for compliant fencing), the material (aluminium is the most popular for its durability and low maintenance), and the finish (powder coated in a range of colours to match your home). Glass pool fencing is a premium alternative — contact us if you need advice on glass options.

Installation Tips

Pool fencing should be installed by a licensed fencing contractor or suitably qualified DIYer who understands the relevant Australian Standards. Posts should be set in concrete to the depth specified by the manufacturer. All gate components must be tested to confirm self-closing and self-latching operation before the pool is made available for use. A council inspection may be required upon completion.
