You have a gorgeous pool in the back yard and the family is chomping at the bit to use it.
You heard on the grapevine that the pool has to have a fence, and glass pool fencing is the ideal solution.
But should you go ahead and try to install it yourself, or does it make more sense to let the pros handle it? Even if you feel competent to take on the task, you should think twice.
It's not as easy as popping a few panels around the pool's perimeter.
There are serious issues that need to be taken into consideration, issues that only registered professional pool fencing installers are aware of.
Certified to Australian Standards Products used in the installation of glass pool fencing must meet strict quality control standards.
Suppliers will be able to provide certificates that guarantee the materials have been tested and approved for domestic use.
That includes the glass panels themselves and any accessories used to anchor or support the panels.
Local Council Legislation Did you know your glass pool fencing needs a permit before you can use it? Even when installed by a professional company, glass pool fencing has to be checked and certified by members of the local council before it can be used.
Your local installer knows exactly what the requirements are and will make sure your fencing meets or exceeds the safety standards.
Not only that, but they'll also help expedite the process to ensure you get your permit as quickly as possible.
Experience and Expertise Your local pool fencing company has probably been in the business for years.
They know the products inside out, and part of their job is to keep up-to-date with any changes in pool-related legislation.
Make use of their knowledge and experience and it will save you a lot of time, hassle and expense.
If you're still not sure whether hiring a professional installer is the way to go, see if you can answer these questions:

• What's the difference between 10mm glass and 12mm glass?
• What kind of gates are you permitted to install under the new legislation?
• Should you use frameless glass or semi frameless glass?
• Will 8mm glass work just as well with semi frameless glass fencing?
• What's the best length for glass panels to guarantee safety and stability?

Pool Fencing is Mandatory If you've got a pool, it has to have a fence around it.
It's the law.
But there's more to it than that.
For example, how would you know if your pool area came up to scratch? All it takes is for local council inspectors to give your efforts the thumbs down, and you will have wasted a great deal of time and money for nothing.
Even if your fencing looks good, it must meet local government criteria before a permit will be issued.
So why risk it? Take the hard work, worry, and additional expense out of the equation.
