Aluminium & Pool-Compliant Fencing

Pool fencing has to be right, not just look right. We set out and build aluminium and frameless glass pool fencing to AS 1926.1 and your council rules, then hand you the compliance paperwork, so the certifier signs it off the first time instead of failing it on a gate latch. Powder-coated aluminium also suits garden, front-boundary and balustrade fencing that never needs painting.

Scope

What this job includes.

  • Powder-coated aluminium pool, garden and balustrade fencing
  • Frameless and semi-frameless glass pool fencing
  • Set out and built to AS 1926.1 and council rules
  • Self-closing, self-latching pool gates that open away from the pool
  • Compliance documentation provided for the certifier
Our system: Powder-coated aluminium or toughened glass, set out to AS 1926.1 with no climbable gaps and a compliant gate, and the compliance paperwork handed over so it passes inspection first time.
How we quote it

Priced by the metre, itemised line by line.

The metres, the height and the material named, the post type and footing depth, gates, old-fence removal, and the boundary note if it is a dividing fence. Not one round number for a fence.

The 7-line quote
  1. 1 Metres, height and material. The price broken down by linear metres, the fence height, and the material named: the Colorbond colour, or the timber type and grade. Not one round number for "a fence".
  2. 2 Post type and footing depth. The post type, the footing depth, and that the posts are set in concrete, dug deeper for reactive clay and sloping ground. This is the line cowboys skip.
  3. 3 Panels, rails and fixings. The panel or paling spec, the rail layout, and the fixings. Lapped-and-capped, standard, or good-neighbour, stated so you know which side gets what.
  4. 4 Gates, itemised. Each gate its own line: pedestrian or driveway, the hardware, and whether automation is included or quoted separately once we see the opening.
  5. 5 Old-fence removal and tip fees. Removal, the old posts pulled or cut off, and the tip fees, each a line, never folded into a round number or sprung on you at the end.
  6. 6 The boundary-cost note. If it is a dividing fence, a plain-English note on how the cost splits with the neighbour, and a quote you can put in front of them.
  7. 7 Warranty and compliance. The 10-year posts and footings warranty in writing, the Colorbond materials warranty, and the AS 1926.1 compliance paperwork where a pool fence is involved.
If a quote doesn’t show these lines, you can’t compare it, and you don’t know what’s been cut.
How it runs

What happens, step by step.

1

Free measure and set-out

We measure the boundary, check the soil and the slope, mark the line and talk through material and height, then put a written quote in your hands.

2

Itemised quote

The honest quote: metres, height and material, the post type and footing depth, gates, old-fence removal, and the boundary-cost note if it is a dividing fence.

3

Materials and start date

You sign off the material, the colour and the scope. We order, confirm the install window, and book the dig, working in any neighbour and council notices.

4

Remove and set the posts

We take down the old fence, cart it away, then dig footings to depth and set the posts in concrete. The footings cure before anything hangs off them.

5

Panels, rails and gates

Once the footings are set, the panels or palings and rails go on, raked to follow the slope, and the gates are hung, automated and tested where fitted.

6

Clean-up and handover

We clear the site, walk you around the finished fence, hand over the warranty in writing and any pool-compliance paperwork, and set up the gate remotes.

Insured, covered, guaranteed

The paperwork behind the price.

Public liability to $20M, and a 10-year posts & footings, all in writing, all on request.

We hold a QBCC fencing licence in Queensland and a NSW Fair Trading licence across the border, and we carry public liability insurance, so you are covered on site. The guarantee is a 10-year written warranty on the posts and footings, the part that fails first, plus the genuine Colorbond and BlueScope manufacturer materials warranty where the fence is steel. All in writing, with exclusions named.

The cover, the guarantee, and how to check each one.

Questions, answered

Aluminium & Pool-Compliant Fencing: common questions.

What makes a pool fence compliant?
AS 1926.1 plus your council rules: at least 1.2m high, no gaps a child could climb or squeeze through (under 100mm), nothing climbable in the no-go zone, and a self-closing, self-latching gate that swings away from the pool. We build to that standard and hand you the compliance paperwork, so the certifier signs it off first time.
Glass or aluminium pool fencing?
Frameless glass gives an uninterrupted view and suits a feature pool, for a higher price. Powder-coated aluminium is the durable, lower-cost option that still meets the standard and never needs painting. Both comply when set out correctly; we will quote whichever suits the look and the budget, and we will be honest about the cost gap.
Do you arrange the compliance certificate?
We build to AS 1926.1 and provide the documentation the certifier needs, and we will tell you exactly what the council in your area requires. In most cases the final pool-safety certificate is issued by an independent certifier, and we set the fence up so it passes that inspection rather than fails on a latch height.
Can aluminium be used for the whole property, not just the pool?
Yes. Powder-coated aluminium suits garden, front-boundary and balustrade fencing as well as pools, in a range of styles and colours, and it will not rust or rot. We will quote the property as a package if you want a consistent look. Price it on the estimator to start.
