AUSTRALIAN POOL FENCE REGULATIONS
In Australia, there are Pool Fence Regulations for all pools of 300mm or greater in depth. The Australian Standard is AS 1926.1-2012 Safety Barriers for Swimming Pools, however, Pool Fencing Standards, Codes and Regulations can vary from state to state.
Before purchasing your new fencing products from JayMarc Industries, we recommend you visit your local government regulation websites or call/visit them to ensure you are getting exactly what you require and that will comply with your relative local and State Government Building Standards.
Building Permit
JayMarc Industries Pool Fencing have been tested and certified to the Australian Standard. However, you still may need a building permit to commence the work at your property. Please contact your Local Council, Pool Builder or Builder for more information to make sure your fencing meets Australian Standards.
Earthing Regulations
As part of the electrical code, all metal fencing/objects within 1250mm of the pool edge must be earthed by an electrician. Alternatively, other products such as Spigot Insulators or Non-conductive Spigots can be used if you are in the 1250mm radius.

Step 2.
Take Measurements
Measure the distances between points of your fence line and write them on the plan.
Be sure to measure where the fence will be i.e. 100mm in from the edge of the concrete
(as seen in the example)
- Top & Bottom Gaps - Ensure your measurements for each run accounts for top & bottom gaps. Ensure your runs include measurements of gap.
- Slab Edge Allowance - Please ensure to allow a minimum 100mm from edge-of-slab to centre line of fence when calculating measurements of your fence runs. Drilling too close to the edge can blow out the concrete.
- Installing on Timber Deck? - Please be aware, if installing on timber deck, spigots needs to be installed into structural timber. Decking is the weakest fixing so consider using smaller panel or glass clamps to strengthen the panels.
Step 3.
Calculate Panel Sizes
Divide each section into equal-sized panels, allowing for gaps and gates.
Panel sizes range from 200mm – 2000mm
- Hinges & Latch Options - We have a large range of Hinge & Latch options available to cater for your gate layout requirements.
- Retaining Wall Panels - Retaining wall panels can be used to overcome stepping points (i.e. retaining wall, taps, window ledges) to ensure pool compliance. We stock a large range of Retaining Wall Panels to cater for this.
