Glass Pool Fencing in Sydney

De-Fence supplies and installs frameless and semi-frameless glass pool fencing across Sydney. Frameless panels use discreet stainless fittings for a more open view; semi-frameless panels sit between slim posts.

Frameless and semi-frameless glass pool fencing

Both systems use clear glass panels. The difference is how the glass is held, and how much hardware you see.

System A

Frameless glass

How the glass is held
Each panel is held at its base or side by stainless fittings, usually spigots fixed to the ground or bolt-on fittings fixed to an edge or wall. There are no posts between panels.
The look
The most open view of the pool, with only small fittings and the panel edges visible.
Worth considering
The surface the fittings go into, and where the gate sits, shape the layout. We check both at the measure.

  • Bolt-on fittings

System B

Semi-frameless glass

How the glass is held
Glass panels are set between slim posts, which carry the glass along the fence line.
The look
The open feel of glass with a clearly framed edge, and posts you can see along the fence line.
Worth considering
Some homes suit the framed look better. We will talk through both options on site.

Fittings, posts and gates

Small parts decide how a glass fence looks and works. These are the details we talk through when we measure.

02Bolt-on fittings Fixed to the face of a wall or raised edge, so the ground stays clear.
03Posts
Semi-frameless glass is held between slim posts. We will show you the post finishes available for your project.
04Gates
Glass pool gates are available. We plan the gate position with you, then the hinges and latch to suit it.
05Surfaces
Fittings can go into existing paving or tiles. If there is a waterproofing layer, check with your builder or waterproofer first.

Pool barriers in NSW

Every pool fence has to work as a child-resistant barrier. What applies depends on your pool, when it was built and the site around it, which is why we assess each job on site.

  • Which poolsPools that can hold 30cm of water or more need a child-resistant barrier, including portable pools. Some spas can use a secure lid instead.
  • GatesPool gates must swing outwards, close by themselves from any open position, and latch automatically.
  • Climbable objectsA clear non-climbable zone is needed around the barrier, so keep furniture, plants and toys away from it.
  • RegistrationPool owners must register on the NSW Swimming Pool Register. Registering does not confirm compliance.
  • StandardsPools built after 1 May 2013 are assessed under AS 1926.1-2012. Older pools may fall under earlier standards until the barrier is modified.

Choosing a type of glass fence does not, on its own, make a barrier compliant. Compliance is assessed by local councils and registered pool inspectors. Certificates can be required when selling or leasing a property, and the rules differ for each.
