Vegetation and Climbing Hazards Near an 1800mm Barrier

Trees, shrubs, landscaping and other features near a pool barrier can potentially provide climbing opportunities and should be considered when assessing compliance.

An 1800mm barrier does not automatically remain compliant simply because its physical fence height is correct. The surrounding environment and potential footholds or handholds must also be assessed.

This illustration demonstrates how vegetation and other nearby features can affect an 1800mm pool barrier.
