How Safe Is Your Pool Area? 

A pool, spa, hot tub, or any body of water on your property is a huge responsibility. Aside from the maintenance and repair issues, there is always a safety risk where water is concerned. This risk is also significant when children are often in close proximity. However, this risk has been decreasing, largely because of increased safety precautions around bodies of water to protect children.

 

Pool Fencing

A fence that goes directly around a pool or spa is the best safety investment you can make. Four-sided pool fencing decreases water-related injuries in young children by over 50%.

At Kiss Glass, we specialize in producing glass pool fencing that meets Australian regulatory standards for pool safety. We rigorously test our glass to ensure the safety of our clients and their families.

Fences Must Meet These Standards

They should be at least 1,200mm high and should have NO foot or handrails that may encourage children to climb.

The fence should not have a gap of more than 100mm.

Pool gates should be self-closing and self-latching. The latch should be out of the children’s reach completely.
