Vertical Wire Fencing in Sydney
Fine vertical stainless steel wires between slim posts and a top rail. For pool fences, decks and balconies where you want an edge you can see straight through.
Vertical wire for pools, decks and balconies
Wire is about as close to nothing as a fence gets. It suits sites where the outlook, the garden or the water is the point.
Around the pool
Wire keeps the pool in view from the house and garden, with a lighter look than pickets.
Decks and balconies
On a raised deck, wire between timber or metal posts keeps the outlook open from the seat as well as standing up.
How a vertical wire fence is put together
Four parts, and each one changes the look.
- Top railTimber or stainless steel. It is the part you touch and see most, so it sets the style.
- PostsCarry the rails and hold the wires taut. Spacing depends on the run and the site.
- Vertical wiresStainless steel, run vertically and tensioned between the rails.
- Bottom railAnchors the wires near the deck or ground.
Good to know before you choose wire
Wire looks simple, but it is a tensioned system with its own rules.
- Pool barriers
- A pool fence must work as a child-resistant barrier under NSW rules. Ask us at the measure whether vertical wire suits your pool; compliance is assessed by councils and registered pool inspectors, not by the choice of product.

- Balustrades
- Wire balustrades follow the building code rules for height and openings, and have their own rules on wire tension. See the summary on our balustrades and handrails page.
- Tension
- Wires need to stay taut to do their job. Check them from time to time, and call us if any feel loose.
- Other options
- Prefer glass or framed pickets? Compare glass pool fencing and aluminium pool fencing.
