Pool fencing
Pool & Glass Fencing
The right pool barrier needs to protect the area, support safe access and sit comfortably within the landscape. Schmick Fencing installs glass and tubular pool fencing for properties across the Redcliffe Peninsula and surrounds, Moreton Bay and Brisbane's outer northern suburbs, with careful attention to layout, gate placement and finish.

Glass
Open-view glass fencing
Glass is well suited to pool areas where visibility and an open feel are important. It allows the pool and landscape to remain part of the view while creating a defined barrier around the restricted area.
A successful glass fence depends on more than the panels. The layout needs to account for gate operation, access paths, changes in level, nearby climbable objects and surrounding structures.
Tubular
Tubular pool fencing
Tubular fencing provides visibility through the fence while working with a broad range of homes and landscapes.
It can be considered for complete pool enclosures, sections combined with other approved barrier types, sloping or changing ground conditions and everyday access gates. The final design must be assessed against current pool safety and building requirements.
Planning
Planned around pool use
Pool fencing should feel considered rather than squeezed into the last available line. Important questions include gate location, connecting surfaces, nearby climbable objects, retaining walls, steps and garden beds.
We plan the fence around both the pool area and the way people move through the space.
Compliance
Compliance pathway
Pool fencing is regulated in Queensland. A building certifier or licensed pool safety inspector may need to be involved depending on the work.
Schmick Fencing can complete the agreed installation work, but formal certification must come from the appropriately licensed inspector or certifier.
Frequently asked questions
Questions customers ask before booking fencing work.
What pool fencing styles do you offer?
Our stated service range includes glass and pool fencing, and our public portfolio shows glass panels and tubular pool fencing.
Is glass or tubular fencing better?
Glass provides the clearest uninterrupted view, while tubular fencing offers an open profile with a different material and maintenance balance.
Can different pool barrier materials be combined?
Different compliant barrier types may sometimes be used within one pool area, but every junction and section must work as part of the complete barrier.
Do I need approval for pool fencing?
Pool fencing is regulated in Queensland. Confirm the exact approval and certification pathway for your project with council, a building certifier or a licensed pool safety inspector.
Can Schmick Fencing issue a pool safety certificate?
Only a QBCC-licensed pool safety inspector can issue a pool safety certificate.
What information should I send with my enquiry?
Include the site address, pool status, photos from several angles, approximate dimensions, existing barriers, gate locations and preferred fence style.
