Glass Pool Fencing Sydney | Supply & Installation

Service

Overview

An award-winning frameless glass pool fence does two jobs at once: it keeps the pool safe and compliant, and it lets the landscape stay the hero. Across Sydney we design and install glass pool fencing that reads as part of the architecture, not an obstruction around it — planned around the pool, the paving and the way the garden is used.

01

Seamless Design, Unmatched Quality

Every fence is built from 12mm clear toughened glass on 2205 marine-grade stainless steel hardware, with the fixing method chosen for the site — core-drilled spigots, channel fixing recessed into the coping, or side-mounted stand-offs where a raised slab calls for it. Non-conductive polymer-coated spigots keep the barrier compliant with AS3000, in finishes from matte black to brushed gold, and every gate swings on Polaris soft-closing hinges.
02

Spigots, Channel or Stand-Offs

The fixing is where a glass pool fence looks considered or looks fitted. Spigots core-drilled into concrete, pavers or coping are the most versatile, and suit almost any pool surround. Channel fixing sets the glass into a recessed track for the cleanest possible line, with no hardware above the paving. Stand-offs fix the panels to the face of a raised edge, retaining wall or deck, keeping the walkway clear. Many of our projects combine all three, so the fence follows the pool without a visible change in detail.
03

Licensed Glass Pool Fence Installers

Glass fencing is licensed glazing work, and every Glazed Co. installation team is made up of licensed glaziers and apprentices, backed by our AGWA company accreditation. Panels are set out to millimetre tolerances so gaps, levels and transitions stay consistent across the whole run, and the finished fence complies with AS1926.1, AS1288 and AS3000. Every installation carries our 10-year structural guarantee.
04

Built Around Pool Safety

A pool fence in NSW has to do more than look good. It must stand at least 1200mm high with no gaps over 100mm, keep a 900mm non-climbable zone clear of anything a child could use to climb it, and have a gate that is self-closing, self-latching and opens away from the pool. We set every fence out with these rules in mind from the first site measure — so planting, furniture, taps and retaining walls are accounted for before the glass goes in, not after an inspection.

05

How a Glass Pool Fence Installation Runs

Most projects start with the pool or landscape plans. From those we quote, usually within one to two hours, and agree the scope: the line of the fence, where the gate sits, how the barrier meets walls, steps and decking. A site measure follows once the surround is finished, because glass is cut to the millimetre and cannot be trimmed on site; on curved or complex work we measure with CAD and model the panels in 3D before anything is ordered. Fabrication takes care of the toughened glass and the hardware, then our own licensed glaziers install: core drilling or channel cutting, setting each panel plumb and level, hanging the gate so it self-closes and self-latches from any position. We liaise with your certifier or council so the certificate of compliance is issued without a second visit, and we leave the pool surround clean.
06

What Decides the Cost

Frameless glass pool fencing is priced per project, not per metre alone, because the same length of glass can be a simple straight run on a slab or a stepped, curved barrier across three levels. The main factors are the overall length and the number of panels, the fixing method (core-drilled spigots are usually the simplest to install, while channel fixing and stand-offs take more preparation), the glass specification (12mm clear toughened is standard; ultra-clear and curved panels are made to order), the number of gates, and the ground the fence stands on: a new strip footing or cut concrete costs more than fixing into an existing slab. Access, certification and any matching balustrade are quoted alongside. Send plans and we return an itemised quote; if you want a figure before the design is settled, tell us the length and the surface and we will give you a realistic range.
07

Frameless Glass or Aluminium

Frameless glass gives the clearest line: panels fixed on spigots, in a channel or on stand-offs, with no posts in the view and the garden carrying straight through. It is the fence we are known for, and the one we recommend wherever the outlook matters. Aluminium pool fencing, in flat-top tubular or 3D blade profiles, is the right answer where privacy, a bush setting or the budget call for it, and it pairs well with glass around the pool itself. We supply and install both, so the advice you get is about the site rather than the product; many of our acreage and coastal projects combine glass where the view matters with aluminium or custom steel where the property needs definition.

08

Compliance, Certification and Aftercare

AS1926.1 sets the barrier rules in NSW: a minimum height of 1200mm, no gap over 100mm, a 900mm non-climbable zone outside the fence and a gate that opens away from the pool, self-closes and self-latches. AS1288 governs the glass itself and AS/NZS 3000 the earthing of metal components within 1.25m of the water, which is why we fit non-conductive polymer-coated spigots. We design to all three, install to them, and provide the documentation your private certifier or council needs for the certificate of compliance. The fence carries our 10-year structural guarantee and the hardware is 2205 marine-grade stainless steel, chosen for Sydney's coastal air; a fresh-water rinse keeps it as installed, and EnduroShield coating, which we are certified to apply, is available for glass that faces the ocean.
09

Proven at the Highest Level

Our pool fencing has been recognised at a national level — National Winner for Innovation & Excellence in Glass Pool Fencing at the Australian Fencing Awards and Gold Winner for Safety Barrier at the SPASA Awards of Excellence. From a 70-metre run blending three fixing systems to a 180kg cantilevered panel floating over a spillway, the projects behind those awards are the same craft we bring to every backyard.

Questions

Glass Pool Fencing Sydney, answered

How high does a glass pool fence need to be in NSW?

At least 1200mm from the finished ground level, with no gaps over 100mm, under AS1926.1. Every glass pool fence we install is built to that standard.

What is the non-climbable zone?

A 900mm clear space around the pool barrier that AS1926.1 requires, so a child cannot use nearby objects, planting or parts of the fence to climb over or through it. It is mandatory in NSW, and it is the requirement most often lost over time as furniture, garden beds and decks are added — our guide on non-climbable zones covers each of the five zones.

What glass and hardware do you use?

12mm clear toughened safety glass on 2205 marine-grade stainless steel hardware, which suits Sydney's coastal air. Spigots are non-conductive and polymer-coated, and gates are hung on Polaris soft-closing hinges.

Does a glass pool fence need to be earthed?

Under AS3000, conductive parts of a pool fence within arm's reach (1.25m) of the pool edge need equipotential bonding. Our non-conductive, polymer-coated spigots keep the barrier compliant without running an earth wire to every spigot.

Should I choose spigots, channel or stand-offs?

It depends on the surface and the look you want. Spigots suit most paving and coping; channel fixing gives the cleanest line with no visible hardware; stand-offs fix to the face of a raised edge, wall or deck. We often combine them on one project — we recommend the right mix at the site measure.

What guarantee do you offer?

Our frameless glass fencing carries a 10-year structural guarantee, and it is installed by licensed glaziers who have completed a four-year glass and glazing apprenticeship.

How long does a glass pool fence installation take?

The installation itself is the shortest part of the job. The lead time before it depends on the site measure, fabrication and the state of the pool surround, which we confirm once we have seen the site; curved and ultra-clear panels take longer to make than standard 12mm clear.

Can you fit a glass fence to an existing pool?

Yes. Existing paving, coping and decks each take a different fixing: core-drilled spigots into concrete or pavers, base plates over blocked-out decking, stand-offs on a raised edge, or a new strip footing where the fence leaves the slab. We decide the method at the site measure.

Do you organise the certificate of compliance?

The certificate is issued by a private certifier or your council after inspecting the barrier against AS1926.1. We install to that standard, provide the glazing and compliance documentation, and liaise with the certifier so the inspection goes through first time.

Do you install aluminium pool fencing as well?

Yes. Alongside frameless glass we supply and install aluminium pool fencing, including flat-top tubular and 3D blade profiles, and custom steel, and we often combine them on one property.

Which areas of Sydney do you cover?

All of Greater Sydney — including the Northern Beaches, North Shore, Hills District, Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, Sutherland Shire, St George and Western Sydney — plus the Central Coast, Illawarra and Southern Highlands.
