Why Choose Frameless Glass Pool Fencing

There’s no doubt you’re keen to jump into your new swimming pool as soon as it’s ready, but there’s one more important thing to do before you can call your pool swim-safe based on Victorian requirements; install pool fencing. In accordance with Australian regulations for pools and Australian Standard AS 1926.1 – 2012, you need to have compliant pool fencing installed in your yard before you can dive in.

There are a few styles that Aussies opt for; frameless glass pool fencing, semi-frameless glass pool fencing (which some also call “framed”), and metal pool fencing. It’s up to you which to choose, with style, budget, and desired aesthetic being the top three criteria for most homeowners. Below, we outline the main differences, along with the pros and cons of each, to help you make an informed decision on the best option for your yard.

Knowing the Victoria Pool Fencing Standards & Regulations

While it’s easy to get caught up in the fun of dreaming about installing a swimming pool or spa, the protection and active supervision of young children and adults who are not that confident in-and-around water isn’t a consideration that should be overlooked.

Since the year 2000 there have been 27 drowning deaths of children 5 years and younger in private, residential pools. In these instances, the Coroner found that in at least 20 of these cases a non-compliant safety barrier may have played a role in the deaths of the young children. As a swimming pool and/or spa owner, you have a legal obligation to ensure and maintain the correct operation of barriers and fencing around pools to help prevent avoidable deaths like these.

If you’re lost and don’t know where to begin researching, check out the following guide on spa & swimming pool fencing regulations or read the full Victoria Building Authority (VBA) or Swimming Pool and Spa Association (SPASA) guides where they pinpoint a few of the more important things to note to ensure the safety of family, pets, and friends.

Along with the preparation and planning, comes the arduous task of cleaning indoors and outdoors, especially the entertainment areas including pool fencing, balustrades, kitchen splashbacks, and shower screens.

Inspired by the Olympics? Why not dive into your new pool?

The 2016 Olympic Games in Rio have recently come to a close, with the Australian contingent performing particularly well in the pool. Claiming 3 gold medals is a fantastic effort, even for a team with the lofty expectations and weight of the nation on their broad shoulders.

As is the case with the majority of major sporting events around the world, watching athletes bring home the gold from the comfort of the lounge room, often sparks a fire in the belly, which gets us up off the couch and into a mindset that would inspire our beloved Bruce McAveney to describe as: DELICIOUS!

Despite the fact joining the Aussies in the green and gold for Tokyo 2020 could be a tall order for even the most dedicated swimmers, you can now perfect your backstroke in the comfort of your own backyard with the help of a lap pool, designed just like a racing lane.

A backyard swimming pool is perfect for you if you love the water or are interested in a low-impact workout that delivers outstanding endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness. But where should you start before diving head first into a backyard pool project?
