Why are screening materials problematic
Pool owners don’t seem to like bare Boundary fencing and want to cover it up. We get it – boundary fences are stark and sometimes ugly.
But what can you cover it with? That’s easy – a smooth material that has sufficient strength and rigidity.
But the kicker is that you still need the boundary fence itself to measure a minimum of 1800mm – attaching a flimsy or scalable screen onto a 1500mm high fence is not the right approach for compliance purposes.
Two problems – failure to comply for fence height and failure to comply for scalable object in the 900mm Non Climbable. Zone. Owners who have installed bamboo should not be surprised to be asked to remove it.
Owners who increase their fence height first then attach a smooth covering will have no problems with compliance.
Example 1 – Boundary fence is 1700mm in height
Example 1 – the screening material cannot form the fence
Example 2 – low fence height and flimsy scalable screen
Example 3 – Actual BF height is 1540mm
Compliant Boundary Fencing to correct height with a smooth sturdy covering that has no climbable points.
