Pool Barriers on Sloping Ground

Diagram showing how sloping ground can affect the effective height and compliance of a Queensland swimming pool barrier.

Where a pool barrier is installed across sloping ground, the effective height of the barrier must be maintained as the ground level changes.

A rising ground level can reduce the effective height available at particular points along the fence and may also create potential climbing opportunities.

This diagram provides a visual example of how a pool barrier should be considered when installed on sloping land and why measurements need to take account of the actual ground level around the barrier.
