Q. Does the pool fence comply with Australian standards?
A. The pool fence has been designed so when installed correctly it will comply with Aus standards for Pool Fencing.
Q. Does the pool fence comply with Local Council requirements?
A. Local Councils follow the Australian Standards guidelines, however it is always best to check with your Local Council for any special requirements.
Q. What height is the pool fence?
A. The standard height requirement is 1200mm. Our fences have a finished height of 1220mm. In some circumstances you may need to have a greater height to conform to Australian standards. See installation guidelines/instructions and always check with your local council.
Q. How strong is the glass?
A. The glass is Clear Toughened grade A Safety Glass manufactured to Australian Standards. It is very strong and impact resistant. If, in the highly unlikely instance a piece of the glass does break, it will do so, into many small and therefore less harmful pieces.
Q. How safe is the gate on the pool fence?
A. The gate exceeds the Australian Standard. Our Pool Safety Latch is positioned in such a way that it is extremely hard for young children to gain access to your pool.
Q. How easy is the fence to install?
A. The fence will come with full installation instructions. With basic tools and a little handyman experience you will be able to easily install our fence. For those who are scared by the mere mention of the word instructions, we do have recommended installers in most areas.
Q. What do I get with my pool fence kit?
A. You will receive – Posts, Toughened Glass Fence Panels, Toughened Glass Gate, Hinges and hardware, Magnetic Pool Safety Latch, Glazing Rubber, Post Caps, Post Dress Rings. Installation Manual can be downloaded from our installation page.
Q. What size is the gate?
A. Our standard gate is 850mm wide in 6mm glass. The gate opening is 870mm wide. A standard door opening in a house is 800mm.
Q. Why do you use a Powdercoat finish on your posts?
A. Powder Coating is one of the most durable exterior finishes available. It is used on many metal items which are exposed to the weather. Powder coating is the best way to insure durability, weather resistance and colour retention. The finish is applied as a powder, electrostactically and baked in an oven. In effect, the outside layer of the metal fuses with the melted powder forming a hard, weather-resistant finish. If the coating is damaged, you can simply touch it up with a spray pack.
Q. What colours can I get my fence in?
A. Our most popular colours are our standards, Black and Pearl Silver. You can, for a small cost, have your fence post in various colours.
Q. Can the fence be attached to a timber deck?
A. Yes. The posts will require special bases attached to them to facilitate attachment to the timber decking.
Q. Can the fence be attached to concrete and tiles?
A. Yes. Holes need to be core drilled through the tile and concrete. The posts are then fastened into these using a special cement based grout.
Q. Can the fence go into my garden bed or lawn?
A. Yes, put in concrete pads and then install as per tile & concrete.
Q. How long will it take to get my pool fence?
A. Depending on your location and fence requirements, you can expect delivery of your pool fence from 14 to 21 working days from when the order is placed. 10 working days is our normal delivery time.
