How to choose the best pool fencing on the Gold Coast

Like many people in Australia, you may be obliged to change the current type of fencing around your outdoor pool. This is designed to protect children and animals, and prevent them from drowning in pools. However, you may be concerned with more than just sticking up any old fence. Many homeowners wish to reduce the negative impact caused by covering a lot of their yard with fences. Metal or wood fences can be decorative in the long term, but they tend to gobble up the landscape and can look unattractive for many years. As an alternative to this form of fencing, many people are turning to frameless or semi-frameless glass pool fencing.

What is so good about glass fencing?

If you have been considering the types of pool fencing available to you, then you will probably already have been thinking about frameless glass fencing. There are several reasons why this is so popular. Firstly, it gives you a much greater aesthetic appeal than the standard wooden or metal fence. In fact, it can even be used to enhance your garden, giving it a style and elegance that other types of fences cannot bring. Most frameless glass fences are made with crystal clear security glass, which is very resistant to damage, and is completely see-through. Secondly, the fences are able to give you a clear view of your pool, so that you can enjoy the pool as you intended, being able to see it all year round without hindrance. Glass fencing also allows you to watch over small children in the pool, allowing them to play but be safe.

Other advantages to glass pool fencing

There are also other practical reasons why you may prefer to have a glass pool fence on the Gold Coast. The most significant of these is the fact that glass is resistant to corrosion and the effects of heavy rain or damp. Unlike wooden and certain types of metal fencing, which is vulnerable to rust, corrosion and other damage, glass fences are not usually affected by the weather. In an area of your garden which is very likely to get wet, if only from splashing and swimming, metal or wooden fences just don't last very long. Glass fences can put up with being drenched on a regular basis, and unlike wooden or metal fences they are also easy to wipe down after the pool has been used.
