Steps to Prepare Your Pool Barrier
- Check Fence Height and Stability
- Measure the height of your fence to ensure it meets the minimum requirements.
- Inspect for signs of wear, damage, or instability.
- Test Gate Functionality
- Ensure gates self-close and self-latch without manual assistance.
- Check that the latch is out of reach for young children.
- Remove Climbable Objects
- Relocate furniture, pots, and toys away from the fence.
- Trim trees or shrubs that could provide a foothold.
- Inspect for Gaps
- Look for gaps in or under the fence that a child could crawl through.
- Ensure there are no loose panels or sections.
- Review Regulations
Familiarize yourself with NSW pool safety regulations to identify any potential compliance issues.
The Role of Professional Inspectors
A licensed inspector will thoroughly examine every aspect of your pool barrier, providing a detailed report and guidance on rectifying any issues. Booking a professional inspection is the best way to ensure compliance.
