Secure your pool with the best semi frameless glass balustrade fencing

When you are securing your fences against potential damage, you still need to choose fences which are attractive, and that can help protect your water area without affecting the overall look of your yard or home. Choosing the right fences is therefore an essential part of preparing for the new rules regarding Queensland pool security, and one way you can meet the requirements of the law and of your own aesthetics is to use semi-frameless glass balustrade fencing which can protect your pool area without making the space look like a fortress or a prison camp.

Making the changes to meet the law

Homeowners are now under legal pressure to make sure that their pool area is completely secure, and with the tightening of legislation meaning that these fences have to be installed by the 30th of November, 2015, it is important to make sure that you have the right fences in place. The law requires that the barriers must be more than 1200mm from the ground, and from any flowerbeds or other raised areas that might otherwise affect its height. You also need to have security gates which self-close and self-latch, essential for protecting the pool from small children who might not realise how dangerous water is. Making sure that the new barriers are high enough and secure enough to meet the demands of the new pool inspectors can mean that you are placing a low emphasis upon appearance, but it doesn't have to be that way.

Protect and beautify with glass fencing

One of the best ways to get more from your security barriers is to use semi-frameless glass pool fencing in place of wood or metal. This style of fencing is the most minimalist, meaning that you can see more of the area beyond the fences. You still get the same very effective security, so you don't have to worry about failing the safety inspection, but you will be able to see around the fence into your pool. When you have had a swimming pool put into your yard in order to enhance its value, you want to be able to look at it from the house. With standard barriers, you can't do this, but with glass fencing, you can see clearly and without obstruction, almost as though there was no fence there at all.
