Make a statement with semi-frameless Pool fencing in Surfers Paradise

External swimming pools are a popular way to enhance the value of a property while also adding something which is attractive and practical for the long-term homeowner. If you are thinking of building a swimming pool in your yard, then you will also have to look at different styles of pool fencing. Surrounding the pool with fencing is mandatory in most areas of Australia, and the law also applies to the Gold Coast, including Surfers Paradise. Although you have no choice about adding a fence to your pool, you do have some options when it comes to the style of fencing. A growing number of homeowners in Gold Coast are choosing to opt for a semi-frameless style for their pool.

What is semi-frameless fencing?

Until a few years ago, most homeowners would have selected frameless fencing without even looking at the other options, but recent changes in fashion have meant that the semi-frameless style is now more popular. Unlike the completely frameless option, the semi-frameless uses a series of full-height posts between clear glass sheets. This means that each side of the glass post is fixed into a metal post which is as high as the sheet itself, and the posts are made from either stainless steel or aluminium, so they are strong enough to hold the glass in place. The posts provide additional support to the sheets, and they can be either square or round, with a powder coating designed to match your pool colours, or to blend in with the rest of the house.

Why use semi-frameless fencing?

If you want something stylish and elegant for your pool, then semi-frameless pool fencing offers a good-looking and reliable option. They also offer something more eye-catching than the frameless versions, meaning that they can be used to decorate the pool, rather than just protecting it. With framed fencing, there is less chance of people and animals running into the glass accidentally, and it is still possible to see clearly into the pool when children are playing there. Most of all, however, with the right quality glass pool fencing, the semi-frameless posts have an attractive quality of their own, which allows them to fit neatly into an elegantly designed garden, or complement the appearance of an outdoor living space. With semi-frameless fencing, homeowners get a style which is attractive, practical, and eye-catching.
