At Auckland Glass we design, build and install frameless and semi-frameless glass pool fencing across Auckland, adding a sleek, architectural edge to your outdoor space while keeping it fully compliant with New Zealand's pool barrier requirements.
It's the fencing option most homeowners choose when they want their pool area to look as good as it functions: clean lines, natural light, and nothing breaking up the view.
Whatever your section looks like, from a compact courtyard pool to a large poolside entertaining area, we'll help you choose the right glass pool fencing for your property.
Choosing a glass pool fencing style comes down to the view you want, the support your site needs, and your budget. Not sure which is right for your pool? Get in touch and we'll talk you through it.
As a general guide, glass pool fencing typically runs from $1000 to $2000 per linear metre depending on the style, with installation on top. That's a wide range, because there are a few things move the price more than you might expect.
What affects the cost?
All swimming pools that can hold 400mm or more of water need a compliant barrier under New Zealand's Building Code, Clause F9. Every Auckland Glass installation is built to meet these requirements.
Your pool gate is a critical part of the barrier, and it has to meet the same rules as the fence around it.
Auckland's coastal weather can throw a few extra things at a pool fence that other parts of the country don't have to deal with. We know what different sites need, and different councils expect.
Glass pool fencing is low maintenance, but a little regular care keeps it looking clear, especially in Auckland's coastal air.
Glass pool fencing can run from $850 to $1750 per linear metre depending on the style. Get in touch for an accurate quote based on your pool and site.
Frameless fencing uses base-mounted glass panels with no posts, giving the clearest view but at the highest cost. Semi-frameless uses slim posts with glass infill for a strong, mostly unobstructed fence at a mid-range price.
This isn't part of the pool fencing code, but under AS/NZS 3000 (New Zealand's wiring rules), metal fence hardware near the pool may need equipotential bonding by a licensed electrician. Ask your installer to confirm for your site.
Gaps in or under the barrier can't exceed 100mm, and this includes the gap under gates. We build every fence to sit well within this limit.
Residential pool barriers in New Zealand must be inspected every 3 years. We can talk you through what your council will be checking for and make sure your fence is ready ahead of time.
You can, but it's a part of your home where getting the details right really matters. Measuring, concrete fixing and glass tension all need to be precise to pass council inspection. We recommend professional installation, and we're happy to talk through why if you'd like a second opinion first.
