*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Due to a large number of pool drowning, Australian state governments agreed to impose a pool fence regulations � making it compulsory for households with pools to install a perimeter around the pool to protect those little lives. These are actually pool security regulations and pool fence is just a small component. Other factors include house window, property perimeter fence and anything climbable, what children can use to climb and jump over the fence in order to get to the pool.
While it is always an option to use the usual steel perimeter pool fence, many households opt for a more ascetic option and choose a frameless design made out of glass. Glass pool fencing is attractive and looks very stylish. It brings a classier feel to your pool area, and completes the landscape. Often, you won�t even notice it right away � the unobstructed view makes glass a very attractive option. Unlike conventional fencing, glass fence doesn�t make your backyard look smaller. In actual fact, it can often improve the feeling of increased space around your pool.
There are two types of glass pool fence. Frameless and semi-frameless. Frameless fence sits in two spigots which are fixed to the ground. There are no supporting vertical poles between the glass pieces. Semi-frameless fence is attached into vertical supporting poles between each glass fence. Both types provide the same type of security, however, frameless fence requires thicker glass, which makes it more expensive.
Glass Fence Security
The common question people ask is whether the glass fence is secure. Many think that while trying to protect kids from getting into the pool, how do you protect them from smashing the glass fence?
The answer is in the type of glass that is used. The fence is normally made from toughened glass with thickness anywhere between 8-12mm. A 12mm piece of glass is very hard to break. And if it does break, since the glass is toughened, it smashes into tiny little pieces. In other words, if glass breaks, it will break into a heap of glass, which can then be easily cleaned up from the area. This is a certified type of glass, also used for shower screens and glass doors.
When thinking about your fence, think about your backyard. Fences come in different styles and sizes. Even more so, no two fences of similar style look the same as the complete result depends on other landscape features around the pool. It�s up to you to choose whether the enclosure will become a feature of your garden or blend into the existing surroundings.
Pool Safety Regulations
Even if the glass fence installation contractor guarantees compliance with the government regulations, it is highly recommended to contact your local council or shire yourself, before getting your fence installed. They will send someone to check your pool once the fence is installed, so it makes sense to get it done properly right from the start.
It�s all about safety. Once the fence is installed, don�t rely completely on this barrier for safety around your pool. For people who have young children, it is absolutely critical to keep an eye on them all the time. Also, check perimeter fence, window locks and anything that kids can climb on. As the saying goes, better safe than sorry!
Installation
While there are many companies offering DIY kits for glass pool fence, it is highly recommended to get a contractor to install your fence. It is very easy to break glass when it�s not handled properly. You may save on the price of the kit, but it may end up to be more costly if something goes wrong.
