Why Pool Fence Inspections are Essential
In Queensland, pool safety is regulated by strict laws. All pools must have compliant pool fences and safety barriers. Regular pool fence inspections ensure your pool meets all safety requirements, protecting children and preventing accidents. Non-compliance can result in fines and legal issues.
What We Inspect
Our comprehensive pool fence inspections cover all aspects of pool safety compliance:
-
✓ Fence Height: Ensure fence meets minimum height requirements (typically 1200mm)
-
✓ Gate Compliance: Check self-closing and self-latching mechanisms
-
✓ Gap Measurements: Verify gaps between fence panels and ground meet regulations
-
✓ Climbable Objects: Identify objects near fence that could be used to climb over
-
✓ Fence Condition: Check for damage, rust, or deterioration
-
✓ Boundary Fences: Inspect shared boundary fences used as pool barriers
-
✓ Overall Compliance: Comprehensive check against all Queensland pool safety standards
