Pool safety is a topic that cannot be stressed enough, especially in a region like Perth, where the inviting climate makes pools a popular feature in many homes. But before you dive headfirst into the joy of owning a pool, it’s crucial to be aware of the legal requirements surrounding pool fencing. Lucky for you, the team at Clear Az Glass Fencing is your go-to expert for all things related to pool safety.
An Overview of Pool Fencing Laws
In Perth, Western Australia, pool fencing is not just a suggestion; it’s a legal requirement. These laws aim to ensure the safety of your family and community. These regulations mandate barriers like fencing to restrict unsupervised access by young children to the pool area.

Requirements for Pool Fencing
Here are some basic legal requirements you need to know:
- Minimum Height: The minimum height of the pool fence should be 1.2 meters.
- Gaps in Fences: Gaps in the fence should not allow a 100mm sphere to pass through.
- Self-Closing Gates: Gates should be self-closing and self-latching, with the latch at least 1.5 meters above ground level.

Legal Requirements for Older Pools
If you have an older pool, you might think these rules don’t apply to you. However, it’s essential to update your pool fencing to comply with current laws. Legal requirements aren’t static; they evolve over time to incorporate new safety measures.
