The laws in Queensland for pool fencing are some of the strictest in the country and have a set of requirements that must be met before it can be signed off by an inspector. The pool fence must be surrounded by a four-sided barrier and the use of the house wall as part of it is not allowed. The barrier must be at least 1200 millimetres, or 1.2 metres, in height all the way around and there cannot be any climbable object within 90 cm from the pool fencing. By hiring a company to install your aluminium pool fencing on the Gold Coast or the Tweed Heads region, you will be sure that your pool meets these strict requirements. The most common reasons that the pool fencing fails its compliance testing are that it is less than 1200 mm in height, the gates do not self-close or self-latch, there are climbable objects near the barrier, windows that open into the enclosure have a gap of more than 100 mm, and garden beds have become overgrown, which may reduce the overall height of the barrier. By picking aluminium fencing for the pool, you have chosen a durable and low maintenance product that will keep your friends and family safe for a long period of time. Aluminium is rust proof and looks good for years, and its powder-coat paint extends its life. If you are updating your current pool fencing, then you may need to get building development approval from the local government or from a building certifier before you can continue. If there is no barrier or the barrier has not yet been certified as compliant, no more than 300 mm of water can be in the pool at any time. Any house that is rented out that has a pool must also include a barrier.The legal duty comes down to the owner of the property. If you have to repair your aluminium pool fencing on the Gold Coast, you must replace anything to the same strict standards as before. Getting a respectable pool fencing contractor to fit your barrier would be crucial to avoid failing any further inspections.
