Why Invest in Professional Fence Around Pool Solutions?
Whether you are a homeowner, builder, architect, or a commercial property owner, a professionally installed fence around your pool is essential for safety and peace of mind. Here’s why quality matters:
Compliant and Safe: Meeting strict Australian standards for fence height requirements for pools and minimising pool fence gaps are critical for child and pet safety.
Long-Term Support: Walnut provides durable fencing solutions backed by ongoing maintenance and support.
Custom Design: Our fabricated swimming pool fence options can be tailored to blend seamlessly with your property’s unique character.
Understanding Victorian Regulations: Pool Fence Dimensions & Safety
Regulations in Victoria specify minimum pool fence dimensions and structural requirements to guarantee the security of any pool area. Choosing the right pool protection fence means prioritising:
Fence height: Minimum 1.2 metres from ground level.
Maximum gap: Less than 100mm beneath the fence and between vertical elements.
Latch location: Minimum 1.5 metres above ground for self-closing gates.
Climb-proof construction: No climbable objects within 900mm of the outside of the fence.
Failing to meet these criteria not only risks hefty fines but can also compromise the safety of your family and visitors. Walnut’s experienced team ensures every project complies fully with these legal standards, providing genuine pool safe fencing you can trust.
