Abiding By Pool Fencing Regulations

Pools can be a pleasure to own or a pain depending on the way you look at it. If you enjoy the pleasure of swimming but hate maintaining the pool you would be wiser to go to a public pool. If on the other hand you are prepared to take on the responsibilities of correct maintenance and are aware of all costs involved from installation, fencing, and upkeep by all means go ahead and enjoy the summer seasons. Make sure you register your pool as required by the new laws and have it inspected, and definitely have the correct pool fencing.

Since the recent change in laws regarding swimming pool have been made, not only do you have to fence a pool as previously required, but you now have to register your pool and have it inspected. CPR signs are a necessary part of these regulations. This is sensible as the information is available in an emergency. If you are sure you can afford the costs involved and abide by the regulations, and can maintain the pool properly, go ahead with the planning. Firstly ensure that the correct fence Brisbane will be erected. This is a vital step.

Pool fencing Brisbane must meet specific guidelines. It cannot be just a normal yard fence or something you think will do the job. It has to be childproof and have a childproof entry gate. A fencing company can install this for you if you don’t want to do this yourself. They are aware of the regulations involved when erecting a pool fence so choosing to have it installed for you is a safe option. Fences can be made of steel or aluminium both being strong and durable. It must be of a height that young children cannot reach so that gate and latch are not accessible for them. It must also have all vertical bars to prevent children gaining access through horizontal footholds.

Pool regulations are not meant to be a burden, but to lift the burden of guilt and heartache from our shoulders by protecting our family.
