When the sun is out, there is nothing better than spending your time by your pool. If you have a pool, it’s important to have a compliant, stylish and safe pool fence. For many years, a frameless glass pool fence has been the go-to for its sleek design. Let’s be honest, though; whilst it’s great to have the uninterrupted clear glass, over time the frames rust, and the glass also has a lot of upkeep in constant cleaning.
Here at Feature Fencing, we understand that you would rather spend your time by the pool enjoying the water and less time cleaning and maintaining your pool fence. That’s why we have seen a large shift from Perth pool owners towards low-maintenance alternatives when it comes to pool fencing, with stylish, safe, low-maintenance options that require less upkeep.
The Reality of Glass Pool Fencing
There’s no denying the initial wow factor of a clear glass pool fence. They offer a great showcase for your pool and landscape, offering a clearer view. However, talk to anyone with a glass pool fence, and they will have the following complaints:
- Fingerprints and Smudges: Glass fences are a magnet for these, especially if you have kids or curious pets.
- Water Spots: Every splash of water, or rain shower, can leave behind mineral deposits that will quickly dull the look of the glass.
- Dust and Grime: Perth’s harsh environment and weather mean that dust and debris can quickly settle on the glass, making it look dirty or ‘foggy’. Especially if you are in a windy area or close to the coast.
- Time-Consuming Cleaning: Removing the grime, dirt and water spots requires a range of different cleaning products and a lot of elbow grease.
All of this means that for many, the dream of a see-through pool fence quickly becomes a constant maintenance task.
Low-Maintenance Pool Fencing Alternatives
At Feature Fencing, we offer a robust, stylish and, more importantly, easy-to-maintain pool-fencing solution that meets Australian safety standards. Here are some great alternatives that are popular with Perth pool owners.
Aluminium Pool Fencing
When it comes to a hassle-free pool fence, aluminium fencing is hard to beat. Aluminium pool fences are corrosion-resistant, making them perfect for the pool environment as they won’t rust or corrode. Aluminium fencing is complete with a powder-coated finish, which can come in a wide range of colours. Powder-coated finishing not only looks great but also is more weather-resistant and less likely to chip or peel. Maintenance of aluminium pool fencing is easy; simply hose it down with water, and you are done!
Available in a wide range of designs that are designed to not only look great but also meet council compliance, there is sure to be a style that matches your home’s design!
Stylish Pool Fencing Without the Stress
Whilst glass fencing has its place in high-end design, it is an effort vs. reward calculation. Between constantly having to get the ‘Windex’ out and the anxiety of keeping your glass panes looking streak-free, especially in the afternoon sun, the novelty can soon wear off.
By choosing an aluminium pool fence, you aren’t just opting for a stylish alternative; you are improving your lifestyle, meaning your weekends can be spent enjoying your time in the pool, rather than spending hours maintaining it.
Feature Fencing’s aluminium fencing guarantees the following:
- More Privacy: With a wide range of options allowing you to control how visible the pool is to neighbours.
- Durability: Our fencing is built for the harsh WA sun and environment, meaning your fencing will still look great in the years to come.
- Easy-Maintenance: Simply hose down the fencing every few months, and your pool fencing will look like it is brand new!
