With the government making it a law for every property owner to have swimming pool fencing in Melbourne, people are looking for affordable and stylish options so they can add protection to their pools. They want to do that but without compromising on the aesthetics of their landscape and garden. This is a fair wish because if your pool is in the middle of your front yard, a fence around it would look a little out of place and will not be doing the aesthetics any favours. If your pool is at the side or in a corner of your yard then any sort of fencing would look good but if it is in the middle-centre then glass fencing would be the best option. It looks elegant, stylish and expensive and will definitely not look out of place in fact it will add to the beauty of your landscape.

There are predominantly two options that pool fencing goes by, metal and glass. Metal as its nature is, provides sturdier reliable protection than glass. Not to say that glass fencing is not durable, reliable or strong but compared to glass, metal inevitably is the stronger material. It would be safe for you to have either of those depending on your preference because both of them get the job done just fine. 

If you have a yard that is wild with growth and a lot of plants and grass i.e. a yard that is not blasé in spick and span order but has a rather wild nature’s element to it, then metal fencing would go great with the look of the garden. Having something elegant like glass in the middle of a very wild yard would look a little absurd whereas a metal railing would fit just right in. The metal would be stainless steel so will not be harmful for the children. A fence with the height of four to five feet would be completely sufficient to safeguard your children against any safety hazards that pools present.


When you get a pool, with the luxury and “fun times” it presents, it is easy to get a little carried away but protective measures must not be forgotten in any case. It is a rather difficult task to keep a toddler at your place under a bird’s eye view at all times. They tend to sneak around and do not miss any chance to get a little rebellious for the sake of having fun and just by stopping or prohibiting them from not going near the pool unsupervised will not cut it. By making it a law, the government has in fact done a  great job because a lot of people who do not have children at their homes do in fact host parties and toddlers are present at those parties. If not their own then someone else’s kid might be put in danger just for the sake of maintaining the aesthetics of their garden. When looking for swimming pool fencing in Melbourne, make sure that you ask at least two vendors for suitable quotes and to get competitive prices. Glass or metal, the provider will be able to guide you better and at the end of the day, the decision is always yours.
