There’s the safety aspects, and the aesthetics too. While pool fencing is a mandatory installation around most domestic pools for safety reasons, there’s no need to compromise on style, when you see the glass pool fencing prices we offer at Exakt Glass.

While we may sell cheap glass swimming pool fencing, our panels are always of the highest quality
Although our prices for swimming pool glass fencing is the lowest in Melbourne, it never means that you’ll be getting inferior quality glass.

Safety first
Before buying and installing a pool fence you should be aware of the Australian Standards and local or state-specific regulations, so it’s important to check with your local council. It differs between states whether the pool fence requires its own building permit, or if it will be covered under the pool building permit. Pool fences must meet AS1926, which means that pool fencing:
- Should be at least 1.2m high
- Has no more than 100mm ground clearance
- Has gaps of no more than 100mm between vertical bars and panels
- Has no climbing footholds
- Is rigid enough that a child can’t force access through gaps
- Is strong enough to withstand heavy knocks
- Has a latch on the inside of the fence with a self-closing hinge and latch locking system
Understanding pool fencing prices
The supply of glass pool fencing starts from around $120 per square metre, with glass pool fencing installation costing around $100 per square metre. However, there are ways you can manage the glass pool fence cost. Stainless steel components like glass fence spigots tend to be more expensive than the glass pool fence panels. Therefore, the design can influence the cost significantly. Having several gates, using smaller glass fence panels and having more fencing angles means you will need more parts to make up your fence, thus making it more expensive. Keeping the design of your fence simple, without the need for custom-made panels is a way to manage the cost of your new fence; as is keeping the fence as small as possible, while still meeting regulations. Another way to reduce the cost of your pool fencing is to consider DIY glass pool fencing.
When to DIY?
If you’re handy and up to date on building and pool safety, you might consider DIY glass pool fencing. Exakt Glass offer comprehensive DIY advice, a frameless glass pool fencing installation guide and even a DIY glass and fencing warehouse in Melbourne. We will assist you in selecting all of the components needed for your fencing project, including glass fence panels, stainless steel spigots for glass fencing, standoff assemblies, hinges, latches and clamps. We can also provide a helpful list of essential equipment you will need for the installation, such as safety gear, lifting equipment for moving glass panels, an impact driver and drill.
Hiring an installer
Of course, if you aren’t confident you know how to install glass pool fencing yourself, are limited by physical constraints, or you are unfamiliar with the relevant regulations, Exakt Glass can happily recommend licensed and insured installers to you. Hiring a licensed pool fence installer is essential. This ensures you will receive a quality job, guaranteeing safety for your family. A licensed and insured installer will build the fence to the appropriate rules and regulations and mean any future insurance claims you may make are not put at risk from an incorrect installation.
Keep your new pool fence in tip-top shape
To keep your new pool fence in beautiful condition, we suggest following these best practices for maintenance:
- Wash the glass and stainless steel components with only warm soapy water and a non-abrasive microfiber cloth
- Rinse with the hose and squeegee to aid with crystal-clear drying
- For stubborn dirt, spray a mix of water and vinegar on, for a few minutes before rinsing
- Hose down the fencing regularly between full cleans
- Inspect all components of your pool fence at least every six months for stability and optimal function
This was nothing but a perfect retail experience. Being in Alice Springs we're used to getting either overcharged or under cared for. After my first phone call with Exakt, Jason politely said he was with a customer and would call back in 10 minutes. I'd had this before in Alice and never had the return call - alas, 9 minutes later Jason was on the line. Jason and I discussed my needs and 20 minutes later I had a quote. I settled the account that afternoon and the products were on the truck the very next day. I received the goods, all in order in a shorter time frame than what I would have received the quote, let alone goods normally. Go with these guys if you want someone that cares for about having a point of difference - being good customer service and responsiveness.
We were very impressed with the quality of the service and guidance given to us by Jason and Paul. Our visit to the showroom enabled us to see the products and compare systems. We are very pleased we followed Jason's advice as to which system would work best for us. The delivery was on time and we were able to complete the job with minimum fuss. We are delighted with the result.
