Thinking about a pool fence that actually looks good - and passes council checks the first time? If you want unobstructed views, safer access and a finish that lifts your whole backyard, glass pool fencing is the smart choice. We’re Walnut Fencing - a Hallam-based team installing glass pool fencing in Dandenong for property owners and builders who want engineered results without the headaches.
Why glass pool fence makes sense in Dandenong
Glass pool fencing gives you the best of both worlds - open sightlines and serious safety. It suits modern renovations, resale-focused upgrades and tight courtyards where every centimetre of space matters. With quality hardware and compliant setout, glass handles Melbourne’s weather and cleans up easily with a quick wash.
Key benefits
Uninterrupted views to the pool and garden
Council-ready safety when designed and installed correctly
Low maintenance - no rust or repainting, just clean the glass
Adds value with a premium, architectural finish
Compliance and safety - we handle it end to end
Pool barriers in Victoria must meet strict standards. We take care of site measure, setout and hardware selection so your fence is designed to comply from the start. Expect:
Correct panel heights and clearances
Self-closing, self-latching gates opening away from the pool
Thoughtful placement to maintain non-climbable zones
Toughened safety glass that meets Australian requirements
Bottom line: you get a fence that looks the part and is built for inspection success.

Frameless or semi-frameless - which suits your site?
Different sites and styles call for different systems. Here’s a quick guide.
Option | Look | Typical glass | Best for |
Frameless - spigot mounted | Cleanest lines - panels appear to float on mini-post spigots | 12 mm toughened | Paved areas, minimalist designs, premium finishes |
Semi-frameless - post mounted | Slim posts between panels - still bright and open | 10 mm toughened | Windier spots, family homes, balanced budget vs look |
Channel set - concealed base | Glass emerges from a recessed channel for a continuous line | 12 mm toughened | New builds and major renos where floors or walls are open |
Tip: Frameless maximises views. Semi-frameless adds a little structure and can be more forgiving on tricky sites.
Hardware that lasts - and looks sharp
Great glass is only as good as its fixings. We recommend:
Spigots and posts in high-grade stainless or quality powder-coated aluminium
Soft-close, self-closing hinges that don’t slam
Magnetic latches for reliable, one-handed operation
Core drilling or engineered base plates matched to your substrate
Choose finishes that complement your palette - satin stainless, matte black, Monument or a custom powder-coat to tie in with your home.
Built for Melbourne weather
Dandenong’s conditions demand the right materials. We specify toughened safety glass with polished edges and quality seals, and hardware designed to resist corrosion. For higher exposure or coastal projects, we can step up to marine-grade components for extra durability.

Maintenance - quick and simple
Keep it clear with:
A gentle wash using water and mild detergent
Periodic check of hinges, latches and fixings
Avoiding abrasive pads or harsh chemicals
Look after the hardware and your fence will keep performing - and looking - like new.
