Timber Fencing
While updating pool areas it is common that we will need to update timber boundary fences as well. Fences that are shared with a neighbour, or the outside street, normally need to be 1.8m high to meet pool compliance.
With a team of qualified builders and carpenters we can help upgrade or create any combination of fencing or screening your require. While we specialise in glass pool fencing, we can also build timber fences and screens.

Here we have removed old retaining walls and we're cleaning the site to drill piers for the new retaining wall. At this stage we also leveled the garden beds.
Here you can see the finished work with new fence, retaining wall, decking, frameless glass fence installed using black hardware.
Aluminium Fencing
Don't like the look of a timber fence or want something maintenance free? We can also install aluminium boundary fences. These can be "pre-fabricated" in a range of designs, or custom built. Custom built is best if your yard is unique with walls, step points and sloped areas.

1.2m high aluminium fencing along the rock wall to keep dogs in the yard, meets custom cut glass fencing at the entry walkway.
No job too big or too small - this continues around the corner and was about 50m in total. This is a combination of "pre-fabricated" and custom fabricated fence as it had a rake to meet a wall.

Aluminium Screens and Gates
We can help design, manufacture and install gates and screens. These are commonly made of powder coated aluminium as they don't need any maintenance and won't warp or bow with age. Due to unique widths of the openings, these are often custom built. We have different options to suit different budgets, so contact us today for an obligation free quote.
1.8m high aluminium gates custom made with welded frames and slats prior to powder coating in nominated colour to match the house. Included heavy duty hinges and latch.
Custom built extra wide gate, welded frame, slats and rolling wheel prior to powder coating in the nominated colour. We installed this with heavy duty hinges and a top lock latch.
1.8m high aluminium sliding gate, custom made with welded frame and slats prior to powder coating in nominated colour. We installed the tracks, slider and remote control motor.
Custom built aluminium screen in powder coated in the nominated colour scheme. We fabricated the frame it is secured to and then mounted all the screening battens.

Do Glass Pool Fences Last Long?Glass pool fencing is the best maintenance free fencing option there is. Glass will not weather, stain or breakdown. All the fixings and hardware we use are stainless steel and will last a lifetime as well. We ensure all installation is carried out to the highest standards making glass pool fencing a safe choice for your family.
-
Is it safe to use glass pool gates?Yes, the glass gates we use are made from the same toughened glass using self-closing hinges and latches to ensure it doesn't open accidentally. This meets all the Australian design regulations. We commonly use a 'premium' soft close hinge, so it doesn't slam closed and shuts in a slow controlled manner.
-
On what surfaces can a glass pool fence be installed?Glass pool fences are typically installed in concrete as well as tile and pavers, but they can also be installed directly over wood decking, we just to ensure that we fix into solid timber beams. We commonly install extra reinforcement in the sub-frame in these situations.
-
What types of glass pool fences are available?The two most common forms of glass fencing are frameless and semi-frameless. Semi-frameless fences consist of glass panels secured by posts, while frameless pools are supported by glass fence brackets, creating the appearance of a continuous glass environment.
-
How do I maintain the glass pool fencing?It is very simple to maintain, we just recommend hosing down the glass panels and stainless steel spigots on the regular basis. If you live in an extremely harsh environment such as beside the beach, then you would do this more regularly. Washing with fresh water removes the surface containments. Over time the buildup of residue on the surface allows a surface for rust to build up on. Over time it can breakdown the coatings and lead to "tea staining" which is a colouring of the metal finish.
-
Should I use coatings on the glass?There are some good products that help keep the glass clean by repealing water beads from binding and causing water spots. A common product we recommend is "enduroshield", it can be easy to DIY apply or we can apply it as part of the installation.
-
Should I use coatings on the stainless steel?Again there are some good products that help keep the metal items clean. There is an "enduroshield" product specifically for stainless steel, that is applied to the spigots and other surface areas. This is an easy DIY process or we can apply it for you.
-
What do I do if a glass panel breaks?In the rare case that a glass panel does break, it will usually 'pop' or explode into lots of small cube like pieces. This is much safer as there are no large sharp pieces. There are still small glass splinters and it can still be dangerous, so be careful. We recommend wearing protective equipment and sweeping all the glass up to put it into an appropriate container. Then, if possible, using a vacuum cleaner to ensure there are no small pieces remaining. Dispose of the containers with other glass items in a safe manner. We can come out and replace the panels quite easily. We can help at any stage of this process!
-
Do I need a handrail on the glass?If there is more than a 1 meter drop on the other side of the pool fence then you may need a handrail fitted to that section of pool fence. We commonly fit a top mounted Nano rail, which is very low visual impact and meets all Australian design rules.
