If you have a swimming pool in Perth – it needs to have a 1200mm high security/safety fence. The main reason for it is to protect children’s lives. It is said that pool and pool fencing reduces the risk of drowning to about one quarter of that of drowning in an unfenced pool (see Swimming pools and pools). Glass pool fencing is becoming more and more popular option as a safety barrier as it provides clear view and is more durable than your conventional steel fence.
Adult supervision, however, is essential for children’s safety around water.
Pool fencing needs to be at least 1200mm in height and have a self-closing gate, opening away from the pool. It is the owner’s responsibility to maintain the fence and the gate and make sure there are no objects near the fence that kids can climb on and over the fence.

It makes sense to shop around for a good price for your pool fence. There are dozens of fencing contractors all around the place and many charge rather different amounts for exactly the same type of fence. When shopping for a quote, ask about the type of materials being used, where they come from, who will be installing the fence and if there is any warranty.
