Pool fencing is extremely important for both meeting the required health and safety regulations associated with swimming pools as well as the overall appearance of your garden area. There are many different options available to you when choosing a pool fence but the clear standout choice is frameless glass pool fencing.


These can be easily cleaned, they look smart and they allow onlookers to check and see if anybody is using the pool. They are far better and longer lasting than their alternatives that are made out of wood and aluminium. Here is some advice on how to ensure that the fencing will last you a long time as a result of being correctly installed.


Ensure they are securely installed

You don’t want an accident to occur with your new pool fencing as a result of poor installation. Glass pool fencing are designed to withstand very strong wind, however if they are not installed correctly, you could have some problems. All fencing should be secured in concrete foundations when placed into the ground which will stop them from coming out of place.


Choose your options carefully

You need to consider exactly what height you want the fence to be. While there are regulations that have to be met and minimum heights, some people prefer to have extended fences while others want them to be as low as possible. You should always pick specifications that suit your garden and that you will be happy looking at each and every day when you look out the window. As the fencing is frameless and transparent, it can sometimes be hard to see exactly where the fence starts and ends. Therefore, when you are having friends or family over, it is often a good idea to put a sign or something on the fence to make sure people can see it.


Deal with professionals

When you are getting them installed, make sure that the installers know what they are doing. There is not point trying to save money by getting them installed on the cheap. This will only result in bad events down the road. Make sure the installers are part of a reputable traders association and that they have the correct licensing. It is often worth asking friends and neighbours about their experience with installers and if they had a good experience, you can use the same people.
