A pool fence is the single most important safety feature on any Jewells property with a pool, and in New South Wales it is enforced by law under AS 1926.1. The standard is precise: the barrier must be a minimum of 1200mm high, the gap at the bottom cannot exceed 100mm, vertical gaps are capped at 100mm, and any gap between horizontal rails on a climbable face is restricted so the fence cannot be scaled. The non-climbable zone, a 900mm arc kept clear of footholds inside the barrier, is one of the most commonly failed items, so we plan the fence line to keep taps, light fittings, planter boxes and furniture outside it. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching, swing away from the water, and carry the latch high or shrouded against little hands. For Lake Macquarie homes we install frameless glass for an unobstructed view, semi-frameless glass as a mid-range choice, and tubular aluminium where a tough, cost-effective barrier suits the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie setting. Each Pool Fencing & Safety Barriers starts with a site measure to position the barrier correctly against the dwelling, windows and boundaries, followed by footings engineered for the local soil conditions and panels fixed precisely to spec. We also bring older fences up to current rules, since the standard has tightened over the years and many existing barriers no longer comply. To finish, the Pool Fencing & Safety Barriers includes the inspection and the certification needed for the NSW Swimming Pools Register, the statewide record every pool must appear on. You end up with a barrier around your Jewells pool that is safe, certified and built to last.
