Aluminuim Pool Fencing
Aluminium pool fencing is a stylish, durable and low‑maintenance way to make pools safe and compliant, which is why it is one of the most popular fencing choices around Australian backyards.
What is aluminium pool fencing?
Aluminium pool fencing uses lightweight powered-coated tubes installed around a pool to form a compliant safety barrier.
It is designed to meet Australian pool barrier standards while delivering a clean, modern look that suits most home styles.
Key benefits for Aussie backyards
Naturally corrosion‑resistant, so it does not rust even in harsh or coastal environments, especially when powder coated.
Very low maintenance, usually only needing an occasional wash rather than regular repainting or refinishing.
Lightweight yet strong, making installation easier and helping panels stand up to wind, sun and everyday knocks.
Budget‑friendly compared with many glass systems, and cost‑effective long term due to its longevity and low upkeep.
Safety and compliance basics
In Australia, every pool must be enclosed by a compliant barrier that helps prevent unsupervised access, especially by young children.
For aluminium pool fences this typically means a minimum height of 1.2 metres, gaps under 100 mm, non‑climbable rail layouts, and self‑closing, self‑latching gates that latch from any open position.
Local councils can vary details, so homeowners should always check state and council rules or consult a licensed installer before building or modifying a fence.
Design ideas and styles
Classic tubular designs with vertical bars give a timeless, open look and work well alongside paving, decking and lawns.
Powder‑coated colour options (such as charcoal, black or monument tones) help match roof, window and gate hardware for a cohesive outdoor space.
Aluminium can also be combined with glass sections, using aluminium posts or frames to support glass panels where clear views to the pool are desired
