Glass vs Aluminium Pool Fencing: Which Is Right for You?

Frameless glass gives you clear views of the pool and a premium look. It's popular for entertaining areas and lets you watch kids in the water from inside.

Semi-frameless glass uses slim posts or rails. It's a little more budget-friendly while keeping most of the open feel.

Powder-coated aluminium is tough, low-maintenance and usually the best value per metre. Slat styles can match modern homes and add privacy.

Near the beach, the hardware matters as much as the panels. Marine-grade stainless spigots, hinges and latches resist the salt air that causes rust.

Whichever you choose, both can be built to meet the safety rules. The best fit comes down to your view, budget and how you use the yard.
