Minimum Boundary Barrier height for AS1926.1-2012
Do you have a boundary fence forming a part of your pool enclosure?
Most pool owners do.
A minimum height for a boundary fence is 1800mm.
The height is measured from poolside.
Why do so many fences barely reach this height.?
A height that is less than 1800mm is not high enough.
In these images you can see that boundary fence height was either never tall enough,
or a garden bed or deck has been installed at the base of the fence.
We recommend to construct to a height that exceeds 1800mm where possible.
