4 Reasons You Need a Pool Fence | Grand Glass

Any pool filled above 40cm must have a pool fence in Tauranga. But, people don’t always realise that this extends to all pool types – inflatable included. And, even if people are aware of Tauranga’s rightfully strict laws, some pool fences aren’t sturdy enough to get the job done, putting young children at risk of drowning. Bearing this in mind, here are 4 reasons you need a reliable pool fence in Tauranga, and why we at Grand Glass are the right professionals to provide these fencing systems.

Safety

Ultimately, a pool fence is always about safety. This is why Tauranga’s pool fence regulations exist, and why we advocate for their installation. This fence ensures children won’t go swimming unsupervised, at great risk to themselves, and can even protect your pool from nearby wildlife! To maximise the safety benefits of your fence, it should be at least 4 feet high with self-latching gates.

Aesthetic Appeal

Pool fences are also pretty! Glass pool fences in particular add a suave, contemporary look to any Tauranga property, boosting the aesthetic appeal of your home. We all want an elegant, attractive outdoor space, and pool fences come in so many different varieties, there’s sure to be one to complement your property.

Prevent Unsupervised Access

Not only does a good pool fence prevent unsupervised access by young children and local wildlife, but it also works well to deter strangers. Loitering can happen around an unguarded pool, which disturbs the peace of your property, and poses an accident risk.

Liability

If the worst comes to worst, and an accident does happen at your pool, without an appropriate pool fence, you could be held liable. By installing a pool fence, you limit the legal liability you take on by owning a pool, and decrease the chance of injury overall.

Beneficial to the look and safety of your property, a pool fence isn’t something you can scrimp on! We at Grand Glass are happy to help with affordable solutions for your home.
