What actually makes a pool fence compliant in Endeavour Hills

Before we talk styles, here are the non-negotiables we design to:

• Barrier is required for any pool or spa that can hold more than 300 mm of water.

• Minimum fence height 1200 mm, maximum gaps 100 mm at the bottom and between verticals, plus a 900 mm non-climbable zone.

• Gates must self-close and self-latch and swing away from the pool. Latch release is typically ≥1500 mm above finished ground or otherwise shielded.

• If a boundary fence forms part of the barrier, compliance rules change - typical internal height requirement is up to 1800 mm near intersections and in certain layouts under AS 1926.1. We’ll design and build accordingly.

• In Victoria you must register your pool or spa with council and submit a barrier compliance certificate every 4 years - we build to pass first time.

Popular, inspection-ready styles we install in Endeavour Hills

Tubular flat top - steel or aluminium

Clean verticals, timeless street appeal, seen across Melbourne for compliant pool barriers. Flat-top tubular is purpose-built to meet height, spacing and non-climbable zone rules when detailed correctly. It’s practical around landscaping and suits families who want clear sightlines.

Best for: durable, budget-friendly compliance with a classic look.

Frameless or semi-frameless glass

Minimal visual bulk and uninterrupted views from the kitchen or alfresco. We engineer thicker glass, quality spigots and alignment so gates self-close and pass latch and clearance checks.

Best for: premium look, wind-exposed areas where solid screens could catch gusts, sightlines to water.

Using the boundary fence as part of the barrier

Where a side or rear boundary forms part of the pool barrier, we’ll detail to the internal height and non-climbable zone rules, adjust intersections and shield latch zones so your inspection is smooth. Key point: the measurement reference is from the pool side, not the neighbour’s.

Design tips for Endeavour Hills blocks

• Raked not stepped on sloped sites - keeps the top line level and avoids accidental height shortfalls.

• Mind the NCZ - we design planting and hardware so kids can’t climb within the 900 mm non-climbable zone. Remove pots, benches and pumps from the approach area.

• Gate reliability - we set posts and footings to prevent movement, so self-closing and latching remain consistent through seasons.

• Boundary intersections - where a pool barrier meets a boundary fence, we adjust top rails or extend heights to meet the 1800 mm rules around intersections.
