Innovative Pool Fence Designs: Balancing Safety and Aesthetics

When your residential property has an outdoor swimming pool, you will have a special space to chat with friends and relatives as well as tap into health benefits of swimming.

So, if you have kids or pets, how would you prevent them from falling into — and potentially drowning in — the pool when you aren’t using it? Why not erect pool fencing in Christchurch, Tauranga, Wellington or wherever else in New Zealand your outdoor swimming pool happens to be sited?

Here are just a few possible approaches to pool fencing, enabling you to take into account not only practical concerns but also how the protective barrier would visually fit in with its surroundings.

Go for a Holiday Vibe

Simply having an open-air swimming pool at all can feel glamorous. Now, imagine enhancing that feeling by making the surrounding area reminiscent of a high-end Spanish or Floridan resort.

Assembling pristine white walls, for example, can capture the style of a pool cabana. Similarly, a pool with tall hedges dotted around its perimeter can look like something out of Beverly Hills.

Put Up Timber Post-and-Rail Fencing

This idea might initially strike you as something of a minimalist approach. However, as this kind of wooden rustic fencing is often associated with the countryside, it can also help to make your pool feel somewhat like an organic body of water, such as a lake.

This would be no small boon when you consider how mentally reinvigorating it can be to spend time in nature. Still, you might long for a form of pool fencing that would be tougher on the security front.

Make Pool Fencing from Glass Panels

One problem with a lot of the pool fencing ideas suggested above is that they could largely obstruct the view you would otherwise be able to enjoy of your pool from, say, a balcony of your home. This is one reason why we at Grand Glass offer pool fencing in glass.

Through providing this solution with a glass gate you would also be able to seamlessly attach to the fencing, we can enable you to securely close the pool off from wandering children or four-legged friends.

We can time-effectively deliver this pool fencing to Christchurch, Wellington and Tauranga homes, not to mention others elsewhere in New Zealand. In the Auckland Region, we can even install the glass panels for you as well! It’s easy to enquire with us by ringing 09 478 9778.
