1800mm Boundary Fence Used as a Pool Barrier

A boundary fence can form part of a swimming pool barrier, provided the applicable pool safety requirements are satisfied.

Where an 1800mm boundary barrier is used, particular attention must be given to its effective height and the location of potential climbing points.

Structures, landscaping or other features close to the fence can affect compliance even where the fence itself is 1800mm high.

This illustration shows how an 1800mm boundary fence may operate as part of the pool barrier.
