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.
