Choosing the right pool fencing isn’t just about meeting safety regulations — it’s also about enhancing the look and feel of your outdoor space. If you’re searching for the perfect balance between style, durability and affordability, it may be time to find the right semi-frameless pool fencing for your home.
Semi-frameless fencing is a popular choice for Aussie homeowners wanting the sleek, modern look of glass fencing, with the added support and definition provided by aluminium or stainless steel posts.
What Is Semi-Frameless Pool Fencing?
Semi-frameless glass pool fencing is made from panels of toughened safety glass supported by vertical posts, typically made from powder-coated aluminium or stainless steel. These posts are installed either directly into the ground or on a base plate, holding the glass securely in place while allowing visibility across your pool or garden area.
This style gives you the best of both worlds — the contemporary aesthetic of glass with extra structural support and a slightly lower price point than fully frameless fencing.
Why Choose Semi-Frameless Over Frameless?
While frameless glass fencing offers a completely uninterrupted view, semi-frameless designs come with a few key benefits:
- Cost-effective: Semi-frameless options are generally more affordable than fully frameless installations
- Added strength: The inclusion of posts provides extra reinforcement, ideal for high-wind areas or busy family homes
- Customisable finishes: Choose post colours and styles to match your outdoor décor
- Easier to install: Posts offer more flexibility in tricky or sloped terrain
If you’re unsure which option is best for your space, Railsafe’s experienced team can walk you through both.
Matching Fencing to Your Home’s Style
When trying to find the right semi-frameless pool fencing for your home, it’s important to consider your existing architecture and landscaping.
For Modern Homes
Sleek stainless steel posts combined with clear glass panels create a minimalist, high-end look that blends effortlessly with open-plan alfresco areas and contemporary landscaping.
For Coastal or Family-Friendly Homes
Powder-coated aluminium posts — especially in matte black or charcoal — offer durability against the elements and match well with timber decks, pergolas, and tiled pool surrounds.
Safety First: Compliance with Australian Standards
All pool fencing in New South Wales must comply with Australian Standard AS1926.1, which includes requirements for:
- Minimum height (at least 1.2 metres)
- Non-climbable zones
- Secure gate latching systems
- Gaps of less than 100 mm to prevent entrapment
