A pool fence has one job above all else, which is keeping young children out of the water when no one is watching. Our pool fencing does that job and still looks good, from a modern pool fence in frameless glass to a tubular pool fence in black aluminium.
We handle swimming pool fence installation for new pools, replacement barriers and pool areas that need upgrading before their next inspection, in Gisborne, Woodend, Kyneton and the towns in between. As your local fencing team, we set every fence out around paths, garden beds and gates, so it meets the pool barrier standard without boxing in the yard.
Here's why homeowners choose us for their pool fence:

A glass fence keeps the water in view from the house and the yard. Semi frameless glass pool fencing sets each glass panel fence between slim posts, while Frameless Glass Pool Fencing stands on spigots or a hidden channel for a modern glass pool fence with almost nothing in the way. A frameless pool fence finishes with a matching glass pool gate.
Aluminium pool fencing is a popular metal pool fence for its price and low upkeep. A black pool fence or white pool fence in flat top pool fencing suits most yards, while a blade pool fence gives a more modern look. The powder-coated finish won't rust around the water.
Steel Rod Pool Fencing uses slim, closely spaced rods for a light, open look around the water. Some designs run without a top rail and others finish each rod with a gentle bend, which is why it's also known as curved pool fencing. A powder-coated steel pool fence is strong enough for busy family yards.
Every pool gate is self closing and self latching and swings outward, away from the water. We fit a glass pool fence gate with pool-rated hinges and latch, or an aluminium pool fence gate to match the rest of the barrier, so the gate shuts and locks behind you every time.
A gap under the fence, a rail that works as a foothold or a gate that doesn't close on its own are common reasons a barrier fails its compliance certificate. Fixing them after the pool is filled costs time and money, and the yard isn't safe until it's done. We build every barrier to the pool barrier standard from the first post.
Why Choose Us?
A new pool should be exciting, not a worry about rules, inspections and whether the gate will really close every time. We take care of that detail for you, from where the fence sits around paths and garden beds to how the gate is hung.
As pool fencing contractors, we build every barrier to the pool barrier standard and check the gaps, heights and gates before we leave. That way your pool is safe from day one and ready for its compliance inspection.
Here's what we bring to every pool fence:
Toughened glass, powder-coated aluminium and steel, with hinges and latches made for pool gates, so the barrier keeps working year after year.
Your quote sets out the length, panel style and gates, so you can compare glass and aluminium side by side and see where the money goes.
Calls returned, a written quote with a clear start date, and updates while the job is under way, so the pool is ready when you are.
If you're after a fencing team that takes pool safety seriously and keeps the price clear, we're ready to help. Call (03) 9605 3505 for a free quote.
Book your free measure and quoteA compliant barrier with a self-closing gate keeps young children away from the water when no one is watching, which is the peace of mind every pool owner wants.
A barrier built to the standard is ready for its compliance certificate, without last-minute fixes or a second visit from the inspector.
Glass, slim aluminium or steel rods frame the pool instead of hiding it, so the pool area becomes the part of the yard you show off.
Glass and slim aluminium or steel rods let you see the whole pool from the house and the yard, so keeping an eye on swimmers is easy.
The same barrier that protects children keeps dogs out of the pool and stops visiting kids from wandering in unsupervised.
Toughened glass wipes clean and powder-coated metal won't rust or need painting, so more weekends go to swimming than maintenance.
Get in touch by phone or through the quote form, and we'll book a time to visit. We measure around the pool, check gate positions and anything that could be climbed, and help you choose a style before giving you a free written quote.
Any old barrier is removed and the fence line is set out around paths, garden beds and the pool edge. Post positions are marked so the gaps and heights stay within the rules all the way around.
Posts or spigots are fixed and the panels go in level between them. The gate is hung to swing away from the pool, and its hinges and latch are adjusted so it closes and locks on its own.
We check every gap, height and gate against the barrier standard, clear the site and walk you through the fence. Your pool is then ready for its compliance inspection.
As a rough guide, pool fence cost in Victoria currently runs from around $105 to $370 per metre for aluminium, supplied and installed, and from around $315 to $840 per metre for semi-frameless or frameless glass. Gates are priced on top, since the self-closing hinges and latch are a big part of the cost. Treat these as a starting point for budgeting rather than a price.
Length, height, the number of gates, the ground around the pool and whether an old barrier needs removing all move the price. Glass also depends on whether it's fixed into concrete, pavers or a deck.

Pool and spa barriers in Victoria must comply with the Australian Standard AS 1926.1-2012. The fence must be at least 1.2 metres high all the way around, with gaps between bars and under the fence no wider than 100 millimetres. A 900 millimetre zone on the outside has to be kept clear of anything a child could climb, including rails, pots, garden furniture and plants.
Gates must swing outward, away from the pool, and close and latch on their own. A new pool barrier also needs a building permit, which is one of several fencing regulations in the Macedon Ranges worth knowing before you build.
If you'd like your layout checked before you commit, get in touch and we'll talk it through.
Yes, a side or back boundary fence can form part of the pool barrier, but it has to meet the barrier rules too. A boundary fence used this way needs to be at least 1.8 metres high, and the 900 millimetre non-climbable zone is measured on the pool side, so rails and other footholds need to face your neighbour's yard.
Many older paling fences have their rails on the wrong side or have gaps at the bottom. In that case the fence may need extra palings, a plinth or a new section of timber fencing to pass.
Because it's a shared fence, talk to your neighbour early about any changes. If you'd like us to check your boundary fence, call us on (03) 9605 3505.
Glass gives the clearest view of the pool and suits modern homes and outdoor living areas, but it costs more and needs regular cleaning to keep it looking its best. Aluminium costs less, needs very little upkeep and comes in a range of colours and styles, from tubular to blade.
Many homeowners mix the two, with glass where the pool is seen from the house and aluminium fencing along the sides and back, where the view matters less.
To talk through which suits your pool, reach out to our team.
In Victoria, every pool and spa must be registered with the local council, and the owner then lodges a certificate of barrier compliance from a pool barrier inspector. A new certificate is needed every four years, so the barrier has to keep meeting the standard long after it's built.
Between inspections, check that the gate still closes and latches on its own from any position, and keep the area outside the fence clear of anything climbable. Plants grow, furniture moves and hinges wear, and those are the things inspectors find most often.
If your barrier is due for its next certificate and needs work, call us on (03) 9605 3505.
