Frequently Asked Questions
Do I legally need a pool fence in NSW?
Yes, pool fencing is a legal requirement for all residential pools in NSW. According to the Swimming Pools Act 1992 and Australian Standard AS1926.1, any pool with a depth of more than 300mm must be surrounded by a compliant barrier. This includes minimum fence height, non-climbable zones, self-closing gates and latch placement. Failing to meet these standards can result in fines or serious liability if an accident occurs.
It is also good to know that if a metal pool barrier (including spigots) is within 1200mm of the water's edge, the product must be powder coated with a non-conductive finish or needs to be earthed or grounded.
What type of pool fencing is best for coastal areas like Wollongong?
For coastal locations, materials that resist corrosion are essential. Frameless or semi-frameless glass fencing with stainless steel or powder coated aluminium fixtures is a popular choice. Powder-coated aluminium fences are also highly durable and low-maintenance. Avoid untreated steel or cheap fittings, as they’re more prone to rust and breakdown from salt exposure. Choosing marine-grade materials ensures your fence lasts longer and looks better in Wollongong’s seaside climate.
What are the pool safety barrier requirements in NSW?
Regulations in NSW require a clear zone around the inside and outside of your pool fence, often referred to as the ‘non-climbable zone.’ This means no objects, trees, furniture or climbable surfaces within 900mm on the outside of the fence. The fence itself must also be at least 1.2 metres high. When planning your pool area, it's important to allow enough room for both access and compliance clearance.
Compliant, Custom Pool Fencing That Lasts
We understand that a pool fence isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s part of your outdoor living space. That’s why we offer fully customisable options, including glass, aluminium, and combination systems. Whether you're after frameless glass for a modern finish or powder-coated aluminium for a more defined look, we tailor the solution to suit your pool area and your lifestyle.
Our fences meet all NSW pool safety regulations and are designed to withstand the coastal climate in Wollongong. That means corrosion resistance, secure self-closing gates and hardware that stays reliable over time. Every post, panel and latch is chosen for performance, not just price. And because we manage fabrication and installation ourselves, you get consistency and quality from start to finish.
