Australian Standards for Swimming Pool Safety
The standards cover the design, construction and performance of fences that restrict the access of young children to swimming pools. All our pool fences comply with the strength and design aspect of the standard. We also need to consider the placement of the fence at your house to ensure that it complies with the standard. Some key aspects of the Australian Swimming Pool Standards are:
-
The fence must be at least 1200mm high measured from the ground;
-
The gates must swing away from the pool and be self closing, self latching and have child resistant latches;
-
There must be a clear span of at least 1200mm from the top of the fence outside the pool area;
-
There must be at least 900mm between any horizontal rails;
-
The maximum gap in or under the fence is 100mm
Additional information is available from your local council, Standards Australia or one of our knowledgeable staff.
What type of fence
There are many different types of pool fences. Including simple styles that provide a safe environment, feature fences that provide accent to your home, or glass fences that preserve your view. Also consider the fence location and how it impacts your entertaining. For example: Where is the BBQ located? Is it easy to get from the house to the pool? Is the fence directly between the entertaining area and the pool?
