Designing a Stylish and Safe Pool Area: Pool Fence Ideas and Inspiration

There are plentiful benefits of having your own outdoor swimming pool at home. Imagine being able to take a soothing dip after a long, hard day of work. Getting a few laps in can also bode well for your physical health as a result of giving you an all-body workout.

However, if your household has children or pets, how can you prevent them from accidentally falling into the pool and drowning in its water? You could seriously consider arranging the installation of pool fencing in Tauranga, Wellington or wherever else your residential swimming pool lies in New Zealand.

Could Hedges Serve as Pool Fencing?

One genius aspect of this approach is that the hedges wouldn’t actually look like fencing. In fact, they could add to your garden’s natural beauty.

Alas, one downside here is that, though tall hedges can certainly enhance security, they can also conceal many appealing elements of your garden when you look at it from, say, a window of the house.

Add a Resort-Like Aesthetic with Some Stone

In building stone walls as borders surrounding your pool, you can imbue the general area with natural-looking flourishes while still preventing many instances of unwanted entry to the pool.

We say ‘many’ because there would remain the question of what form the entrance itself — perhaps a gate — should take. You would, though, be able to mix and match various types of stone to assemble the wall in a visually attractive ‘patchwork’ design.

How Glass Can Add a Strong Sense of Class

Some pool fences — like traditional post-and-rail fences — look good but suffer on the security front due to being too easy to scale or climb underneath. Meanwhile, certain alternatives — such as mesh fencing — are physically resilient but might distract from the overall style long-established in your outdoor space.

Fortunately, glass can tick many vital boxes when used for pool fencing. For a start, the transparency of the material would let you easily see through to the pool itself. Also, the fencing panels can be supplied in heights ideal for preventing kids and pets from climbing over.

This all helps to explain why we at Grand Glass routinely choose glass for pool fencing Tauranga, Christchurch and Wellington residents — as well as others across New Zealand — can order from our team. In the Auckland Region, we both supply and install; please phone (09) 4789778 to learn more.
