Glass is a great fencing choice for your new or existing pool fence. This is one reason why many homeowners decide glass for their new pool.

If you are considering glass pool fencing, here are a few pros and cons.

Mandatory pool fencing on the Gold Coast can seem off-putting, however, it gives you the chance to revitalise your yard. Glass is an attractive and timeless material. This is one of its biggest advantages because it fits many architectural styles and can inject an air of sophistication to any property.

The idea of having glass pool fencing is to prevent children from falling into the water when they are not being supervised. This is a great step towards ensuring safety, in addition to allowing you to see into the pool enclosure without any obstructions.

Keeping it clean with a soft cloth and a mild detergent is often enough to remove smudges or grease marks. Thanks to this, it is easy to keep it looking its best for many years.

THE CONS OF CHOOSING GLASS
