Glass Pool Fencing
Enhance Your Pool Area with Premium Glass Pool Fencing
We use only the highest-quality materials for our toughened glass, 12mm pool fences. Toughened glass, also known as safety glass, is the industry standard choice for pool fencing because when cracked it shatters. When the toughened glass shatters it’s left in tiny, blunt pieces rather big, jagged shards, like normal glass, making it less likely to cause severe injury.
Our experienced team handles your pool fencing project from start to finish, with the option to customise a pool fence to suit your personal style. We can create pool fences with panels of various lengths, usually a standard panel which comes in 50mm increments, but we can also custom tailor the glass to suit your specific requirements. You will also have the option of spigots or channels for fixing.
Why Choose Glass Pool Fencing?
Unobstructed Views
Glass pool fences offer clear sightlines, allowing you to monitor the pool area effortlessly while maintaining the beauty of your outdoor space.
Modern Aesthetics
The sleek, transparent design of glass fencing adds a touch of sophistication, seamlessly integrating with any architectural style.
Durability
Constructed from toughened safety glass, our fences are designed to withstand the elements, providing long-lasting performance without compromising on style.
Safety and Compliance
In Victoria, all swimming pools and spas capable of holding more than 30cm of water are required by law to have a compliant safety barrier. Our glass pool fences are designed to meet and exceed these regulations, ensuring:
Minimum Height: Fences are at least 1.2 metres tall to prevent easy access by young children and pets.
Gap Specifications: The gap between the bottom of the fence and the ground does not exceed 10cm, eliminating potential crawl spaces.
Non-Climbable Zones: Our designs feature smooth surfaces without footholds, deterring climbing attempts.
Self-Closing Gates: Equipped with self-closing and self-latching mechanisms, our gates ensure the pool area remains secure at all times.
Adhering to these standards not only ensures legal compliance but also provides peace of mind, knowing your loved ones are protected.
Our Glass Pool Fencing Options
We offer a range of customisable glass pool fencing solutions to suit your specific needs:
Frameless Glass Fencing: For a minimalist look, our frameless designs provide an unobstructed view, creating an open and spacious feel around your pool.
Semi-Frameless Glass Fencing: Combining elegance with subtle framing, this option offers a balance between aesthetics and structural support.
What are Spigots and Channels?
Spigots and Channels are both methods of fastening your pool fence.
Spigots and channel-fixed glass pool fences both offer distinct advantages. Spigots, also known as glass panel holders, provide a flexible, cost-effective, and aesthetically pleasing option, while channel fixing offers superior durability, safety, and a seamless design that can be customised to your preference.
The role of a spigot is to securely hold and position a toughened glass pool panel without the need for additional frames or posts, which can obstruct your view. We use 316 Stainless Steel spigots for all our pool fencing projects. Whereas, channel fixing involves slots in the ground, where we glaze into and grout around it to hold it in place.
Professional Installation
Our team of experienced professionals ensure precise installation, and that all safety standards and regulations are adhered to.
We manage the entire process, from initial consultation and design to fabrication and final installation; delivering a seamless experience and exceptional results.

Do I need a fence around my pool if my yard is fenced in?
Yes, in Victoria it is a legal requirement to have a pool fence. The purpose of a pool fence is to keep children and animals from entering the pool area unsupervised, protecting them from drowning. Whereas your backyard fence is about privacy from neighbours and unwanted intruders.

Vertical gaps in the fence must be no wider than 100 mm and there must be no gaps larger than 100 mm under the fence.
