What to know before you brief builders
AS 1926.1 compliant barriers - glass or aluminium. Here is the local context that shapes a quote.
Council will not sign off until the fence is up
The completion pool safety inspection checks the barrier against AS 1926.1. The pool is not signed off until the fence passes. Build the fencing into the project timeline, not after it.
Glass versus aluminium
Frameless glass looks premium and costs more - commonly $7,000 to $15,000 for a 25 metre perimeter. Powder-coated aluminium is durable and cost-effective at roughly $2,500 to $5,000 for the same run.
